What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can combine curriculum development and marketplace operations, lead cross-functional teams, drive measurable CX and revenue improvements, and grow in organizational leadership within collaborative, data-driven environments.

I am an education and marketplace operations professional who blends K–12 instructional leadership with marketplace and customer experience talent management. I design standards-aligned curriculum and drive product listing and inventory strategies that improve visibility and conversions.

Throughout my career I have led cross-functional teams, recruited and trained on-demand CX talent, and implemented data-informed processes using CRM and analytics tools. I have overseen large provider networks and managed marketplace workflows to improve scalability and performance.

In education roles I have served as instructor, campus administrator, and curriculum specialist, developing benchmark assessments, individualized support plans, and teacher development programs that raised instructional quality and compliance.

I hold advanced degrees in education and leadership and maintain certifications in school administration and science instruction. I bring a results-oriented mindset, strong communication skills, and a proven track record of driving sales, improving service metrics, and fostering collaborative learning environments.
