The students that I teach have a primary math teacher in whom I work with in a Professional Learning Community, and we target each student's weaknesses and maintain their strengths. Over the past couple of years, I have seen a growth of about 300% on my QDI scores. This correlates to a lot of our students passing the states' High Stakes Exam, which ultimately, positively affects the overall QDI scores for our School and District. {I've matriculated through a very intense Educational Leadership Program at WCU, which garners high accolades regionally and nationally. I plan to take and pass my Principal's Licensure Exam in October, 2013.

We had several profitable ventures to include one brief stint of making $58,000 in cash sales over 4 short days; 2nd Highest in the company. Despite our successes, the company was built on maintaining a steady Rent Roll which led to me being "Laid off due to decrease in Rental Revenue".
