For the past 10 years, I have been in charge of organizations that produce quality educational programming for children and families of all ages. These organizations have aligned well my personal mission of creating hands on educational experiences that goes beyond tradition public schooling. I believe to develop a well rounded, productive individual, we must have a multifaceted educational system that creates inquiry, creativity, and compassion. From these experiences, we have the opportunity to develop healthy communities with growing leaders and entrepreneurs that shape our future.
