“As an elementary school principal, my civic, moral and ethical responsibility is to ensure that students are offered the best learning environment that allows them to reach their fullest potential. I always aim to expand my knowledge of leadership so that I can lead my school to reach that expectation. Through my experience as a Neubauer Fellow, I learned numerous strategies that support my endeavors as a leader.”
