Previously, as Chief Operations Manager, I drove a 300% growth in company size and increased sales volume to over $110 million. My educational background includes roles as a Writing Instructor at Delaware Technical Community College, where I developed curricula and led technology integration, and as a Writing & Computers Teacher at Sussex Academy of Arts. Additionally, I have experience as an Online Educational Trainer and Test Item Writer. My career reflects a commitment to strategic growth, educational excellence, and innovative training solutions.
