I met Ms. M. in 2019 while working as an Education Technology Integrator at a charter school in North Philadelphia. Ms M. was an assistant principal and very excited to turnaround the school. I assisted her with the following:

• Created a multimedia presentation for her "Cheetahs Compete" initiative

• Brought her to a local Apple Distinguished School visit

• Created a logo for a school initiative

• Created a blended learning website showing our staff members reading virtually to Kindergarteners

I met Mr B. back in 2020 while working as a Staff Developer at a rural middle and high school in New Jersey. He was an innovative assistant superintendent. Mr. B. was so impressed with my ideas that he put me on the following committees:

• HS leadership team

• MS leadership team

• HS technology team

• MS technology team

• HS math leadership team

• MS math leadership team

• HS science leadership team

• MS science leadership team

All jokes aside, leadership quickly put me on the SLT (School Leadership Team) and Personnel Committee. I became an integral part of the school's leadership.

I met Dr. R. in 2019 when I worked at a charter school in North Philadelphia. She was the leader of the school: CEO. It was a challenging relationship since she was, admittedly, very uncomfortable with technology in general. Also, she admittedly was very slow to adopt new initiatives. Things I did to build a relationship:

• custom made her a 3d printed poodle since she loved her dog

• sent to her house some surprise Christmas presents over the holiday

• personally asked if we could go to lunch one day during a break

• facilitated an in-person meeting with the educational leadership division of Apple Edu at our school since we were an Apple school

• brought our leadership to a Future Ready Schools conference
