Assistant Superintendent

UNC Charlotte is a wonderful place to learn. I received a Master’s in Elementary Education and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from UNC Charlotte. I had excellent training from supportive and outstanding professors. The coursework was extremely rigorous and well worth the educational learning experience. It definitely prepared me for my leadership roles as a classroom teacher and as an assistant superintendent. I highly recommend UNC Charlotte to anyone seeking higher education. It is a place where long-lasting and meaningful relationships are established with professors and other colleagues.”
