My formal education includes a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Biology (Microbiology / Chemistry). My Master’s degree is in Healthcare Management MBA, a Dual-degree in Finance and Accounting MBA, along with my certificate in General Education EC-8, and in Special Education EC-12.

During my tenure of teaching, and having the opportunity to work with students from K through 12th grade as a behavioral redirection / Co-teacher teacher. After 6 years of work at the Alternative Middle and High School and 9 years at the elementary level, I found that my experience at the primary and secondary level prepared me for the task I will be undertaking at any educational level. In addition to my professional and educational experiences, I felt that I should work at the elementary level in order to make a difference. I use my experience to help my students achieve behavioral goals along with academic goals before they are sent to the middle and high schools. I have developed positive relationships not only with students, but also with parents. I teach dozens of strategies that reinforce educational materials for the student’s success in learning, along with teaching and reinforcing positive social skills with peers, family and their community. I believe that behaviors can be improved and changed in the early years of a student's education.

Besides teaching and participating in community services, I’ve continued to work in the Healthcare service business, a small business that my brother and I started, owned and operated for more than 18 years. In addition to being a real estate agent and CSA notary, I’ve worked in retail sales, radio broadcasting (college), recreation management, and patient care coordinator.

Furthermore, I’ve learned a great deal over the years by working with hundreds of organizations, having access to their leaders, and consulting with the top decision makers in business, government, health care, and education. I believe that all goals are achievable at any educational level.
