I utilize a transformational social justice leadership approach to serve students, educators, families, and communities. In order for all students to reach their full academic potential through critical thinking and a culturally sustaining and community-focused lens, educators and leaders must engage in boundary-spanning to empower the voices of all students by building on collective cultural wealth and engaging in authentic community/school/family partnerships. A vital part of this partnership includes meeting educators and students alike at their level of need and understanding through active listening, decentering, and a deep understanding of the history and cultural context of the community. I lead with an ethic of care and love to build the trust and buy-in required to co-create and maintain accountable and inclusive spaces.
