Summary
Returned to college to pursue a teaching career after working in the business sector for several years. Enjoyed teaching Kindergarten and later working with the Alabama Reading Initiative as a reading coach at the same school but made the decision to leave the education field to build a family business in the apparel and screen printing industry where I have worked for the past 12 years.
Accomplished Business Owner with a proven track record at Sassy Frass Tees, driving over one million dollars in annual revenue through exceptional relationship building and strategic work planning. Expert in performance improvement and clear communication, leveraging attention to detail and team leadership to exceed expectations. With our business now well-established, I desire to return to my calling in Education to help better the lives of young learners.
