Candidate for
Board Member; Cincinnati City School District

I have been blessed in my life. I come from a strong and successful family and was raised on the Westside of Cincinnati in the Westwood and Northside neighborhoods. Beginning employment as a very young man I have been instilled with a work ethic and confidence that will bode well for my future success.

After receiving a scholarship upon graduation from Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School I immediately enrolled as a full-time college student at Xavier University (Cincinnati, Ohio) majoring in Education. I currently am employed as an Operational Administrator for Cincinnati Bell and as substitute teacher in the Great Oaks School district. I have has thrived in college, achieved and advanced in the corporate world and am endeavoring to make a mark as an educator as well.

I am determined to accomplish the many goals I have set for my continued education, my future family and my community. Once I receive my Masters in Education from Xavier my goal is to become an inspirational educator in the Cincinnati Public School system thereby giving back to an institution which has given me the initiative and the concrete tools that will undoubtedly enrich my life.
