I've thrived professionally due to the fortuitous combination of structure and independence I was afforded as a military kid. I am hoping to share that winning combination of life skills to Middle School ELAR students.
As a Director and VP level design professional I led complex, fast-paced, time sensitive projects in challenging, international environments. Launched heady new start-ups companies and collaborated with some of today's most demanding, discerning heritage brands. Over the years, my people skills, sound judgement, flexibility and positive, collaborative attitude, have been my advantage.
Today as I change my professional focus, I believe I've mastered many of the skills needed to be a successful middle school teacher. Combined with my innate love of learning, language, and young people, I am confident and excited to be moving toward my future in teaching.
