Objective:
Seeking to begin a career outside of the field of education. I’ve worked in public and charter sectors at this point in my career, but am looking to branch out into other sectors. I enjoy working with student athletes and my first love was baseball so teaching and coaching is something in my genetic makeup, but I’ve learned that the skills and traits I developed during coaching/teaching translate into many other areas and industries. I’m a quick learner and a hard worker who is interested in pursuing a career outside of education.
