I’m honored to serve as the Instructional Specialist for the Adult Apprenticeship Program here at RATC. Throughout my career, I have served in various capacities; Instructor, Assistant Principal, and Director of Career and Technical Education and Adult Continuing Education. Each of these roles has reinforced my commitment to nurturing skills and helping students realize their potential. Each of these roles has deepened my commitment to empowering adult learners to achieve their professional and personal goals.

I have a true passion for lifelong learning and a dedication to creating meaningful educational experiences, I aim to provide students with the tools and confidence needed to excel in today’s dynamic workforce. The journey of education is transformative, and my motto, Designing Your Legacy in Education: "It's Never Too Late," reflects my belief that everyone, at any stage in life, has the power to grow, succeed, and redefine their path.

Thank you for choosing RATC. I look forward to helping each of you design your legacy and achieve your educational and career aspirations.
