Summary

I have dedicated my life to children's education. My passion is creating new and evolving opportunities for students to learn and succeed. I pride myself in my ability to work under pressure and to be a problem solver in difficult situations. I created and opened the first Early Learning Center in our local school corporation. I have secured over 2.5 million dollars in grant funding to aid in the development of those programs. I am involved in community organizations that support and expand early education. I have transitioned these skills into higher education to train future leaders and educators.
