Leading and Learning


Currently, I lead and design professional learning experiences for a wide range of educators, including dual language coaches, reading specialists, English Language Development (ELD) teachers, principals, and district leaders.

My work includes facilitating data-driven planning cycles, developing cross-linguistic transfer protocols, coaching educators, and guiding the integration of biliteracy frameworks. I also collaborate closely with central office teams to build system-wide capacity through workshops, resource development, and program evaluation efforts that center equity, language development, and culturally responsive teaching.
