PROFILE
My guiding principle has always been to serve and treat others with humility and respect, deferring to their needs first before attending to my own. In my recent professional capacity I have most enjoyed creating, executing, and implementing “Brand” marketing programs that
have truly enriched our nation’s most precious resource – our children. By helping students discover their own innate potential to succeed and excel, I feel that I have left this place in much better shape than when I found it.
