Since 2012, I have attended and presented local, state, and national conferences for educators. In this video, you can watch my 2021 presentation at the NYSATA Conference on Engaging Students Online. The feedback I received from attendees was that my workshop was helpful, insightful, and inspiring to their instructional practices.

For several years at GCCHS, I coordinated and spearheaded the annual Signing Dinner event. It was a marketing strategy we used to sustain enrollment of 8th grade students transitioning to high school.

Additionally, and more importantly, we hosted this event to help parents and students ease the transition from the Middle School to the High School building. I managed a team of staff and students in order to make the event bigger, better, and more successful each time around.

As a result of these efforts, enrollment for each entering class has increased year to year.
