Throughout my professional life, my passion has consistently revolved around themes of developing equity through education and access to social services that improve the lives of people of all ages and abilities. I have thrived in government funded and non-profit programs, not afraid of the documentation and policies that often are part of this type of work. I enjoy planning, implementing, and reviewing programs to determine efficacy or areas to improve. I also enjoy serving as a leader: providing ongoing training, reviewing progress, and uniting my team under the goal of providing excellent service. My years of experience as a tutor, then counselor and personal development instructor, have naturally prepared me for management roles. I feel I am well suited for a variety of positions in public education or the non-profit sector based on my education and unique vocational background.
