What People Say…
“I enjoyed having a coach that I could have an honest conversation with and ask questions that I didn't necessarily want to ask my team members. I could be vulnerable and it was nice to debrief difficult moments with someone outside of my school.”
- High School Principal (June 2024)
“She allowed me to be vulnerable and never made me feel like I was being judged. I appreciated the resources she shared with me this school year. I was able to bring back several activities to my staff which helped me become more connected with them.
I felt comfortable sharing with Mayra situations that arose at my school related to race. I enjoyed hearing her perspective and insight on how to handle specific situations with a family or student.”
- High School Assistant Principal (June 2024)
“Mayra was welcoming, relatable and full with great ideas and pieces of feedback. Rather than trying to have my change my thinking she always posed guiding questions to help me reflect deeper about my own ideas/projects.”
- Middle School Assistant Principal (June 2024)
“There were so many times that I felt like I didn't have to explain in detail why I was struggling with something because she could relate.
As I got to know Mayra, I realized that we both had similar backgrounds, which made it so easy to connect with her. I am usually reserved, and it takes time for me to build trust with someone. Due to our similar backgrounds, I opened up much faster than I typically do. I appreciated her honest feedback and resources she provided for me. I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason, and I am so glad that Mayra was there to guide me through this year, especially since it has been the most challenging year of my career.”
