BIOGRAPHY
Waun is a native of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Throughout his upbringing, Waun learned the value that learning has in our mindsets we have and choices we make. Waun enjoys the opportunities education provides for our students. I attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in English (2010) and obtaining a Master of Education degree in School Counseling (2014). Waun entered the Wake County Public School System shortly afterwards where he worked at Vernon Malone College and Career Academy as a Student Assistance Program (SAP) Coordinator for four years and then worked as an Academic Counselor at Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School. Waun is thankful for these educational experiences as they opened his eyes to the significance that empowering educators and students has for our learning community.
In April 2018, Waun entered the Wake Principal Leadership Program at North Carolina State University as a result of the educational opportunities he received. Waun is driven about the topics of equity, access to resources and quality instruction for our students and began Principal Residency at Moore Square Magnet Middle School for the 2019-2020 school year. Throughout the Principal Residency, Waun received experiences in strategic, instructional, cultural and human resource leadership, from observing instructors in class to supporting teachers in their work with students to establishing and maintaining amenable ties with parents. Waun appreciated the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with staff members and collaborating to ensure a positive, caring community is fostered for students to learn.
