Summary
Licensed SC Educator with a broad range of experience that goes far beyond recent years in the classroom. As a CPA, I spent my early years auditing school districts and colleges. Later, after studying law, I grew interested in our education system and how best to prepare students for further education and the workplace. I also served as a college dean and professor, working with at-risk students.
