Throughout my administrative career, I have delivered professional development in the areas of behavior management, co-teaching, defensible goal writing, facilitating IEP meetings, and leadership beyond the classroom. I have also recommended programs that have continued to support students yet expose them to academic and social experiences such as the Freshman Consultative Program, vocational sites and services, and Best Buddies. Furthermore, I have championed opportunities for all stakeholders within the academic environment to enrich communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills to foster a collaborative learning environment.
I received my B.S. degree from Benedictine University (Lisle, IL) and a Master’s degree in Educational Administration from Governors State University (University Park, IL). I recently completed my doctoral program in Educational Leadership with a Superintendent’s endorsement at the University of St. Francis (Joliet, IL). The focus of my dissertation was "The Man in the Arena: The Success and Retention of African American Administrators in Suburban School Districts Through an Examination of their Perceptions, Attitudes, and Positions. Professionally, I am a member of Illinois Alliance of Administrators of Special Education, Illinois Principal’s Association, and Northern Illinois Roundtable of Special Education Directors. I am also an active and financial member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. Lastly, I am a Board of Trustees for the University of St. Francis.
