Enthusiasm, Commitment, and Engagement

My recent experience as an assistant principal at Eaton Elementary School and soon completion of the doctoral program in educational leadership at UNCW has affected my level of enthusiasm, commitment and engagement in several ways. First, I have learned that I truly enjoy working within the pubic school system, but I feel my greatest impact lies in working with pre-service teachers. From supervising student teachers to teaching a class at the university level, my passion has evolved to teaching the future teachers of America. I believe in public education but in order to have a bigger impact on shaping it, I must have the opportunity to shape those that are soon to be entering the field. I believe my education and experience will support my future goal of teaching at the university level. I look forward to the future and hope to continue to grow as an educational leader.
