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 believe social, emotional, learning is a very important part of a student's education at all levels to make a difference in their lives. I have continued to use my experience to help my students to develop and achieve behavioral goals along with academic goals before they move on to further their educational experiences in 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.
