What I'm looking for

I'm looking to transition into educational sales, where I can use my K-12 curriculum knowledge, consultative communication, relationship-building, presentations, and territory self-management to support schools and districts.

I'm a Florida-certified educator teaching Marine Science, Environmental Science, Agriscience Foundations, Natural Resource Technology, Career Research, and Critical Thinking at James Madison Preparatory High School. As FFA Chapter Advisor, I organize competitive events, mentor student leaders, coordinate outreach, and build chapter membership.

I design standards-aligned curriculum, assessments, and learning materials while communicating student progress with parents and administrators. My classroom experience gives me direct fluency in K-12 curriculum, assessment, differentiated instruction, and district stakeholder needs.

Previously, I managed daily front- and back-of-house operations at C&D Bistro, including hiring, training, scheduling, payroll, inventory, bookkeeping, promotions, and upselling initiatives that increased revenue and guest engagement.

I'm looking to bring my education, communication, event coordination, and sales-promotion background to educational sales and customer-facing partnership work.
