I had always dreamed of working with math and math curriculum at a district, county and/or state level. Once I completed my M.A. in Educational Leadership, I was qualified to apply for my current position as a Program Coordinator for Mathematics for Moorpark Unified School District. This is my dream job and I’m so grateful to be able to work with teachers, staff, and students throughout the district to help with math.
