I have been in the field of education, either as a teacher, or administrator for 13 years. Before becoming a teacher I was the manager of a successful restaurant for twelve years. Both professions have allowed me to become skilled at building relationships within the community. I currently lead the A+ Arts Academy- Fair Campus as Building Principal. My building consists of 310 students and 30 employees. Prior to my current position, I was the district facilitator of school improvement for an online school. My classroom teaching experience includes both traditional and online settings at the middle school level. I have also coached middle school and high school baseball and basketball for eighteen years.
