I have been in proven leadership roles

throughout my employment career​​

​​

• God has truly blessed me with the opportunity to work in a myriad of occupations. As a teacher, I would suppliment my income by working various jobs during the summer. My experiences go far beyond the breath and scope of so many people. I have experienced both the highs and lows of life. However, it has been my relationship with Jesus that has elevated me beyond all expectations.
