What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a dedicated technology manager with a B.S. in Mathematics from California State University, San Bernardino. My academic journey, marked by a GPA of 3.45 in my major, has equipped me with a solid foundation in analytical and actuarial statistics, which I have applied throughout my diverse career. I have a proven track record of success in various roles, including teaching mathematics in the Los Angeles School District, where my class consistently tested in the top 25% of the school. My commitment to education and my extensive training in teaching secondary school have been recognized by district officials and school principals.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have been a successful entrepreneur, operating my own transportation business for over a decade. I have managed all aspects of the business, from accounting to customer service, while also marketing to potential clients daily. My previous roles in sales and marketing have honed my skills in generating leads and closing sales, particularly in the insurance industry. I am adept at developing marketing strategies and managing teams, which has allowed me to thrive in various management positions.
