Kimberly works tirelessly to provide a high-quality education to students

Thank you all for supporting the New Leaders Giving Tuesday Campaign. Your donations support Kimberly, an elementary school principal in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

Over the course of her ten years in education, Kimberly has never taken a summer off – choosing to teach summer enrichment programs and work at summer camps instead. This tireless work ethic is fueled by her personal responsibility to equip the children of Prince George’s County with a high-quality education.

Prior to joining New Leaders, Kimberly served as a fifth grade reading, language arts and social studies teacher at a nearby elementary school. While teaching there, she served as grade level chair, testing coordinator and talented and gifted coordinator, in addition to serving on various teams such as the school-based management team and the positive behavior interventions and support team. With her guidance, Kimberly’s students averaged an 80 to 90 percent pass rate on the Maryland State Assessment.

Kimberly joined the Emerging Leaders Program last year, and made the decision to participate in the Aspiring Principals Program this year, because she knows that strong leadership is “the key to preparing our students to be college and career ready.”
