Integrity and education are paramount. I have a passion for lifelong learning and teaching. Whether I am in a classroom or working with a client, education is my top priority. In the classroom, learning is fun, engaging and meaningful. I consistently strive to make learning relevant to what my students are currently experiencing in their everyday lives. I also model kindness and professionalism. Many students today don’t have a role model and I work at being that person for my students.
In my current sales role I focus on educating the client to help them make informed decisions when it comes to merchant services. It's always about transparency, dependability, customer service and education.
I have degrees in Science, k-12 education and pharmacy.More...
