Profile
I am passionate and creative, driven to see people succeed in fulfilling their visions and goals. I have expertise in education, recruitment, budget setting, goal fulfillment, social-emotional interaction, and motivation. As an educator, I have consistently achieved everything from training 3-year-old preschoolers on how to walk down a hallway in a straight line without making a sound to taking high school athletes to compete in state championships. I have experience balancing budgets, analyzing data, planning events, and motivating and inspiring people to strive for success.
