"As executive it was extremely rewarding. I built this region from the ground up. I hired the entire management team and together we grew. I learned how to work with professional recruiters and learned a lot from them since I had only worked with Human Resource Directors as a district and school administrator. Together we nutured and supported one another. We were servicing 51 schools. I never hated the position because my regional colleagues and CEO were great to work with daily."
