President of Career Readiness Education
I lead innovation in career education by delivering learning platforms and technology to students.
At K12, I lead the direction of the company’s growing Destinations Career Academies and programs. These programs combine traditional high school academics with courses in health care, IT, business administration, manufacturing and more, preparing students to be college and workforce-ready. Right now, we are planning to peg different industry course offerings to specific parts of the country to better serve student needs. This involves a lot of partnership building.
Here's the first step for everyone
Make sure you surround yourself with a supportive group of people. Finding people that have the same goals or are on your same level can help motivate you instead of holding you back. Your network can often make or break your success.
