Administration

Demi Brown, Executive Director

Mrs. Demetria Brown is a native San Diegan who holds a Master’s of Teaching with an Emphasis in Language Arts Instruction. Her teaching credentials include a Multiple Subject Clear Credential and Single Subject Authorization in English, and she has taught most grades from Kindergarten to Grade Eight throughout San Diego County. Mrs. Brown founded Empower Charter School because she simply wanted a school like this to exist for her own children. Now that it does, she is excited to lead Empower through its formative years. In her spare time, Mrs. Brown enjoys spending time with her husband and staying active. Mrs. Brown was a recipient of the ING Unsung Heroes Award in 2014 and was recognized for her leadership in biliteracy at the 2016 San Diego County Office of Education’s Annual Dual Language Symposium.

Amy Williams, Director of Student Services

Ms. Amy Williams grew up in East County, San Diego. She holds a Mild/Moderate Education Specialist Credential and an Administrative Services Credential, both from SDSU, as well as two Master’s degrees: one in Mild/Moderate Special Education and the second in Educational Leadership, also from SDSU. Ms. Williams entered education because of an amazing teacher named Mrs. Adams, who showed her that she could be successful in school and life. She shares, “Her guidance and belief in me were something I wanted to pass on to other children so that they could know they can also be successful.” In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her horses, family, and taking photographs.
