About me

I worked in Corporate America for over 20 years in various capacities of supervision and facilitation. Leadership and training are all key skills and characteristics a part of my proverbial “toolbox.” Management positions within Comcast, Bank of America and Henry Ford Medical System polished my interpersonal communication skills. All these universal skills have been further lamented while dealing with teenagers and special needs children during my second career in education. I have four school years of tenured in-class experience. From this time frame I have attained skills balancing classroom management, parental relationships, administrative responsibilities, curriculum delivery just to mention a few required skillsets as an educator. I am currently completing my bachelor's degree in communication studies. This degree will be completed as of May 2025. With the completion of my undergraduate studies, I will be furthering my education with a master's degree in Interpersonal Communications and gaining an administrative certification in Core Curriculum and Educational Studies. I am also enrolled in Teach America, an alternative pathway for teacher’s certification via MTTC Prep.
