Each year I set goals to help me grow and flourish as well as to keep me accountable to both my professional and personal life. I have check points throughout the year where I reflect upon the journey and see if there is a need to adapt or change some aspects of the goals. Some are easier to measure than others and I find in general that I am able to make progress toward my goals. Here are my goals for the 2021-2022 school year.

• Have a strong focus on the Middle School and be cognizant about taking on other responsibilities. I enjoy extending my job and responsibilities to whole school initiatives and I want to be more aware of placing my efforts and being 100% present for the middle school.
• Be student focused and put in the extra time and effort to support student needs in the middle school. This is a goal of mine every year…I always want to improve and make sure this is a priority. This includes coaching, building relationships, student groups and activities, and my approaches to discipline.
• Live in the moment and not focus so much on looking ahead to the future. I need to be fully attentive to my current role and be the best I can be at this moment.
• Spread kindness and compassion and ensure that I am intentionally including and praising others in the workplace. It is not solely about me and the more I am able to support others and be a servant leader, the better the environment will be for everybody.
• Provide opportunities for aspiring leaders and open up my space to those aspiring leaders that are willing to come along for the journey. This has been a goal of mine for the last few years and continues to adapt and develop. 
• Support DEIJ initiatives at SFS and work together with colleagues to bring more awareness, understanding, and action around DEIJ at school.

Personal goals

• My family comes first. No matter what, my family will always be my priority.
• I need to prioritize health and my body. This will require consistent workouts and paying attention to what I use to fuel my body.
• Surround myself with the people I care about and love. I need to stop worrying about what other people think of me and expect of me.
