Summary
Results-oriented school counseling professional prepared to provide exceptional support to students' academic and personal growth. Proven ability to develop and implement programs that foster positive school environment. Strong focus on collaborative efforts and adaptability, ensuring reliable and flexible support. Skilled in crisis management and effective communication. I retired form Public Education in 2018 to open a small Engineering / Inspection Business. I'm a healthy 63 years old with 7 beautiful grand children. I'm a lifelong resident of Kent, Ohio and I enjoy reading, woodworking, baseball, and vintage architecture. I would love to get back into public education to work with young people. I have a lot of experience working with Middle School Students, I love their energy and quirkiness! So, if you're looking for someone that's a bit older "seasoned", great with kids, and can step in day one and make a big difference, I'm your man!
