Sylvan Learning Center - Urbandale, IA

• Center Director

  • Mar 2006 - Nov 2011

  I had a front row seat to one of the greatest shows on earth...watching children's confidence and academic skills soar. The role I play is mostly administrative. I inform parents why they should choose Sylvan to make that difference, and get to sit beside them and guide them on their journey. I am responsible for all aspects of the business as well. From the hiring of our wonderful and caring teachers, to ensuring we have enough pencils for the students to show us their growth. In the last four months, 94% of our students showed at least one grade level improvement on their follow up progress assessment. What an easy job I have! Show less

The Greater Des Moines Partnership

• Recruitment Coordinator

  I was responsible for running one of the most aggressive workforce initiatives of its time. We traveled the company enticing former Iowans to return to their "homeland." I held close relationships with HR personnel from a variety of Des Moines based companies; this allowed me to pair returning Iowans with wonderful opportunities.
