Aspire Rosa Parks Academy

As a wife and mother of three, I deeply understand the importance of a nurturing and supportive learning environment. As a first-generation college graduate, I have firsthand experience navigating challenges such as childhood trauma and a lack of resources, which fuels my commitment to ensuring that every student has access to the opportunities and support they need to thrive.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and a Master’s Degree in Educational Counseling with a Pupil Personnel Services (PPS) Credential in Educational Counseling, as well as my Prelim Administration Credential. Over the past 12 years, I have served as an after-school educator, special education instructional assistant, mental health therapist, and administrator, each role reinforcing my belief that education is a powerful tool for social change. 

I am driven by the desire to inspire others, make a difference, and build meaningful relationships. I believe in the power of lifelong learning, encouraging social justice, fostering empathy and compassion, and committing to equity and inclusion in all aspects of education.

As an equity-centered leader, I prioritize:
✔ Building relationships to create a strong and supportive school culture
✔ Self-reflection to continuously grow as a leader
✔ Data-driven decision-making to ensure student success
✔ Culturally responsive teaching that values students’ diverse backgrounds
✔ Restorative practices that cultivate a sense of community and belonging
✔ Equitable resource allocation to meet the needs of every learner

I believe that education is a powerful tool for social change, and I am dedicated to empowering students to become compassionate leaders, critical thinkers, and agents of positive change in their communities and beyond. My goal is to foster an inclusive and engaging learning environment where every student and teammate feels seen, heard, and valued.

Si Se Puede! Let’s Go Cheetahs!
