Education Director

Jun 2013 - Jan 2017
As the Education Director, I oversaw an integrated, multi-level educational nonprofit program for primary, secondary, pre-college, and adult students within the Wampanoag Tribe with am emphasis on incentivizing programs promoting academic retention, succession, college placement, and career development. Some of my key accomplishments include designing and deploying afterschool and summer achievement programs for K-12. I spearheaded a graduation award program to showcase the tribe's academic accomplishments and to motivate students to overcome obstacles and increase graduate percentages. I overhauled the Native American library collection, circulation, and operations by updating and organizing collections with optimized and automated procedures. I authored successful grant proposals in support of operations as well as for educational, recreational, cultural programming and college preparation services. I was entrusted with managing a budget of approximately $500K annually. Show less
