IMPACT
Leadership should ultimately be measured by what improves for students, staff, schools, and the communities we serve.
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work alongside talented educators, students, families, board members, and community partners to turn shared goals into meaningful results. The accomplishments below represent not individual achievements, but what can happen when people work together around a clear purpose.
Academic Excellence
Turning a Shared Vision into Measurable Growth
Led district-wide efforts focused on student achievement, strategic planning, and instructional improvement that contributed to Starpoint's rise from #25 to #5 among 97 Western New York school districts. The work reflected a sustained commitment to high expectations, research-based practices, and shared accountability for student success.
Fiscal Stewardship
Building Trust Through Responsible Leadership
Developed and promoted nine consecutive successful school budgets, all within the New York State tax cap and approved by voters at an average rate of 70.5%. Each budget sought to balance opportunities for students with responsible stewardship of community resources.
Facilities & Future Readiness
Investing in Safe, Modern Learning Environments
Led the development, community engagement, and implementation of a $69 million Security and Educational Improvement Capital Project. The project invested in school security, modernized science and technology learning spaces, and expanded athletic facilities to better serve students for years to come.
Community Partnership
Earning Support for a Shared Vision
Secured 70.4% voter approval for the district's $69 million capital project. The strong community support reflected an emphasis on transparent communication, thoughtful planning, and helping stakeholders understand how the investment would strengthen safety, learning, and student opportunities.
Instructional Technology
Expanding Access to Modern Learning Tools
Oversaw technology investments that placed interactive displays in every classroom, supporting teachers with modern instructional tools and creating more engaging learning environments for students. This work was part of a broader commitment to expanding technology access throughout the district.
Communication & Community Engagement
Telling the Story of Our Schools
Built the district's social media presence into a direct connection with students, families, staff, and the broader community. District content averaged approximately 143,000 views per month, helping celebrate student and staff accomplishments, communicate important information, and strengthen school-community connections.
