I believe and live by the instructions given to believers from Matthew 22:36-39(36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.) I provide thoughtful leadership and tools to teachers and communicate with parents to form cooperative relationships. I am fully invested in helping students reach their individual goals. Driven to meet the special needs of students in the community. I have over 10 years of school administration experience. I have also worked closely with students and families for more than 10 years as a speech therapist.
