As an educator, safeguarding is obviously a top priority. To maintain the highest level of child safeguarding, I believe that maintaining strong training and certification standards for all educators, including myself, are a vital part of a whole-school safeguarding approach. 

Likewise, maintaining student well-being, with consideration of the individual learning & social-emotional needs of each student, is a particular priority of mine as an educational leader. To that end, I've engaged in continuing wellbeing training beyond my last degree to stay up-to-date in the field. My particular focus is on Twice-Exceptional students, as I've spent a good deal of my career working with this population, both in the US and abroad. 

As an instructional leader, I know that integrating a variety of education technology into students' classroom experiences can facilitate effective learning. Over the years, I've acquired working knowledge of both how to use educational technology in theory, and significant experience putting it into practice at a number of schools.
