Camille is a dedicated and committed educational leader who is focused on providing all children with access to a quality education.  Camille graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelor's of Arts degree in English Education.  She obtained her Master of Education in Educational Leadership from Cambridge College. 

 

Camille began her career as a High School English teacher where she quickly demonstrated effectiveness in significantly improving students' proficiency. She has served in almost every school based leadership role including Lead Teacher,  Dean of Students, Instructional Coach and Principal. She has had the opportunity to be a part of school turnarounds, school start ups, and the institutionalization of strong systems and structures that promote student achievement. Because of her laser focus on equity and high quality instructional materials, Camille was tapped to join the Central Office team at University Prep Schools to lead the district Literacy Curriculum Adoption as well as the adoption of the Teacher and Administrator Evaluation system.

 
One of Camille’s proudest moments in her career was the founding of Distinctive College Prep-Redford, an elementary school, where she served as its first Principal. After serving as the instructional leader of this campus, she was asked to serve as a Mentor Principal to support the new Principals on campus. Camille then moved into the role of Regional Managing Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment, where she led the Academic Team in supporting curriculum adoption, implementation, and the establishing of systems and structures that promote data analysis for the district.

As a lifelong learner, Camille has had the opportunity to participate in Detroit Leads, Harvard Graduate School of Education’s New and Aspiring Leaders Program, Michigan ASCD Curriculum Leaders Cohort, and UnboundEd’s Standards Institute. An active professional, Camille is a dedicated member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.  She has also received several awards including being named to the Michigan Chronicle’s 40 Under 40 list.

Camille is married with two children, which is where her time is spent outside of work. She is ecstatic to join the FPS Community!
