My expertise is in three major focus areas: math education, gifted and talented education, & minority studies. I'm very excited to be researching ways to use language scores in conjunction with academic scores to identify minority and language learning students for gifted programming.

I have built gifted programs from the ground up and love helping school districts identify ways to make their programs highly successful regardless of the level of funding allotted to gifted programming.

I also enjoy coaching teachers and administrators on classroom strategies that get results through differentiated lesson planning and systematic approaches to professional development.
