Ed.M · District Instructional Coach · Adjunct Professor · Teacher Leader Coach · Equity Facilitator · Continuous Improvement Strategist · Creator of the Contextual Lens Protocol
Founder of MindUteach. Over 12 years at the intersection of curriculum design, instructional coaching, and organizational development — from the classroom to the district level and beyond.
It started in the public school classroom. Then moved into district-level instructional coaching — designing curriculum, coaching educators, and leading strategic initiatives aimed at building more equitable and high-functioning learning systems. Over twelve years, the pattern became impossible to ignore.
Whether in a coaching conversation with a teacher leader, facilitating a strategic planning process, or guiding an organization through its own examination of equity and culture, the same gap appeared. People had the credentials and the commitment. What was missing was the capacity to examine themselves in relation to the work — to understand how who they are shapes every decision, every room, every outcome.
That examination is what I build for. As an adjunct professor, facilitator, and leadership coach, I developed a framework called the Contextual Lens Protocol — a tool that gives individuals and organizations the shared language to do that work explicitly, rigorously, and with accountability.
The journey
Where the work lives
The work spans sectors — education, nonprofit, and organizational — but the through-line is consistent: building the conditions for people and systems to improve with intention.
Structured learning experiences for educators, institutions, and professional teams where depth, rigor, and relevance matter.
Coaching educators, teacher leaders, and organizational leaders on the capacity that credentials alone cannot build.
Facilitating organizational conversations, continuous improvement cycles, and culture-building work that centers equity as practice.
The core framework
The Contextual Lens Protocol is the intellectual foundation of all MindUteach work. Born out of over a decade inside classrooms, coaching conversations, and district-level leadership work, it gives individuals and teams a shared language for examining the contexts that shape how they think, lead, and build. CLP 2.0 includes 16 lenses with three new additions focused on Equity, Empathy, and Neutrality.
Facilitation, coaching, strategic planning, or the CLP — let's find the right fit.
