This would be the second time I join a school as a founding math teacher. I used my experience working in this setting to define and design an asynchronous, competency-based high school mathematics curriculum to support students previously unsuccessful in traditional mathematics classrooms. Using my experience teaching at Innovation Diploma Plus High School, I iterated upon my standards-based gradebook and LMS to ensure my students could access the course content and their performance at their convenience. I coached teachers in lesson planning, instruction and delivery, and building positive classroom culture. I taught high school algebra, discrete math, probability, and financial literacy.

• Investment Banking Analyst

  • Jul 2007 - Jun 2009

  New York, NY I joined Merrill Lynch as an Investment Banking Analyst right out of college. In this role, I analyzed merger consequences, leveraged buyouts, debt, equity and equity-linked financing alternatives for healthcare services, medical technology, biotechnology, specialty and large-cap pharmaceutical companies. This role helped me understand that financial planning and analysis as a day-to-day gig was not my passion.
