My journey is a testament to faith, resilience, and innovation. Starting as a college dropout, and then a military veteran 4 years earlier than expected, I forged my path as a self-taught programmer, proving that passion and determination can lead to success. Despite facing challenges, and doubters, I embraced lifelong learning, ultimately becoming a late education bloomer.

Now, with over a decade in STEM, I hold a doctorate in Healthcare Administration and a master's in IT Management. My diverse experience spans the manufacturing sector and local, state, and federal tech industries, where they’ve contributed to transformative projects that bridge technology and healthcare. This unique blend of practical skills and academic credentials positions me as a leader in driving impactful change in the tech and public health landscape.

This commitment has been at the core of my professional character, driving me to continually evolve and grow, both personally and professionally.

These experiences have honed my leadership skills and deepened my understanding of the multifaceted challenges faced by educators and students alike.

Driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence, I've pursued higher education to further equip myself for leadership roles in education. I've earned a Master's degree in Educational Leadership and an ED.S in Educational Leadership, accompanied by a K-12 Administration License, with the aim of expanding my impact and effecting positive change at a systemic level.
