  While working at Ivy Prep I served as the Social studies department chair in which I met with the social studies teachers and created curriculum, planned cross-curricular lessons, and encouraged each other to grow as reflective scholars. I also served as the student government advisor in which I worked with the students to host field day, raise money for other school activities, and keep morale high within the school.

  Challenge and Champions

  Jan 2014 - Jan 2015

  Director

  Challenge & Champions is a summer opportunity of stimulating experiences for rising 6th-8th grade students on the Emory University campus. C&C runs over a three-week period and supports learning and leadership through a combination of academics, athletics, and the arts. Our vision is that all middle-grades youth can work toward increased: love of learning, academic and athletic skills, self-confidence, health and well being, sense of belonging in a learning environment, cultural competency in a global society, and comfort with taking on leadership. I began working with C&C as a counselor and was later invited to serve as the Assistant Director. In this position, I worked with students and their parents, teachers, and counselors to ensure the summer is well structured, safe, and fun. Show less

  NC New Schools / Breakthrough Learning

  Oct 2015 - Apr 2016

  Instructional Coach

  I supported student learning in classrooms by helping teachers use classroom practices that encouraged students to read, write, think, and talk. "Instructional coaching is not intended for evaluative or punitive purposes. Instead, it’s a learning opportunity that affords professional teachers with all levels of experience a chance to hone their craft in order to help all students achieve their potential."
