ABOUT ME
I’ve worked across industries — from corporate hospitality procurement for destination resorts and casinos, to delivering packages, working in local warehouses, and grocery aisles. Everywhere I go, I’ve seen the same troubling pattern: young people showing up unprepared, unmotivated, unsure of how to problem-solve, and lacking confidence. That’s not their fault — it’s a systemic failure.

MISSION
To ensure that every child graduates fully prepared — equipped not only with academic knowledge, but also with the skills, confidence, and real-world opportunities they need to thrive. Our mission is to guide students into adulthood with the ability to earn a living wage, contribute to their community, and feel pride in both their work and themselves. We are committed to building an education system that fosters independence, accountability, and purpose, so that every graduate has a clear path forward, whether that means college, vocational training, or a career.
