I am an educator and am currently a Fellow with Building Excellent Schools. I currently am designing and propose to lead a K-5 public charter school in Compton. I taught in Compton for five years and have 17 years of experience working in education as a teacher, instructional coach, consultant, and assistant principal. I have a Bachelors degree from Syracuse University (Go, Orange!) an M.Ed from Loyola Marymount University, and an MPA from Columbia University.
