Objective
Administrative position: Director/Headmaster/Principle/Teacher
I am passionate about learning and how communication defines
relationships in and out of families in our educational systems around
the world. That passion is the key to creating the harmony and energy I
need to learn new things and appreciate collegial relationships. I love
traveling and teaching, and I have been blessed with a variety of
teaching adventures and educational opportunities in life that have been
rewarding and enlightening.
My experiences in educational systems around the world include 30 years
of public service with the Anoka-Hennepin School District in Minnesota,
and 10 years of international service with Campo Alegre, ISS, and QSI in
Venezuela and Kazakhstan.
Along the way I have also been blessed with four languages that have
enriched and challenged my life incredibly. More importantly I am most
thankful for the friends and families I have had the privilege to know
and serve.
Recently, my relationships with personnel in Quality Schools
International have been empowering and encouraging me to continue to
serve and explore new teaching and learning opportunities and
relationships around the world.
