With over 20 years of experience in the education sector, I am a seasoned school operations leader who is passionate about creating exceptional learning environments that enable both staff and students to thrive. As the Founding Director of Operations at Forte Preparatory Academy Charter School, I play a crucial role in shaping the school's operational excellence and ensuring the success of all non-academic aspects. I lead a talented team of operations professionals, managing vendor relationships, contract negotiations, policy improvement, financial oversight, student health, safety, and enrollment management. I also provide guidance and mentorship to my team, empowering them to excel in their functions and support the overall mission of our school. I firmly believe in the power of professional development and have earned multiple certifications from LinkedIn and the American CPR Care Association. My goal is to continue leveraging my expertise in school operations to drive efficiency, innovation, and growth, and to foster an environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
