I currently have the privilege of serving as the director of data insights and analytics in Allen ISD where I have the opportunity to blend my passions for data, teaching, computers and helping build student success. This is my 30th year in education. My first 20 years were as a secondary math teacher. I then had the fortune of supporting math teachers as a math coordinator for 9 years before transitioning into my current role.

Supporting research

Marzano and Hattie have done extensive work on the effective use of data to support student success. School districts handle millions of data points related to their students on a daily basis.
