With 28 years in education, Carla’s worn many hats; elementary music teacher, children’s chorus director, technology integration specialist, instructional coach, and now, a leader in professional development. Her passions include building strong teams, helping educators connect with their core values, and creating engaging, student-centered learning experiences.
In her current role, Carla has helped bring all of Chesapeake Public Schools’s coaching teams together under a unified district-wide model. She designs and facilitates learning experiences for coaches that align with The Impact Cycle and Partnership Principles, while actively participating in coaching cycles with district teachers to further develop her own practice.
Beyond education, Carla built and led a successful team of nearly 100 women as a Senior Director with Thirty-One Gifts, where she hosted regional events and mentored her team to reach their personal and professional goals. Whether in schools or in business, she leads with authenticity and compassion and is committed to helping others do the same.
