I am a 1998 graduate of Tri-Valley Jr/Sr High School and also a STC graduate in Automotive Technology. After graduation I entered the workforce as an auto technician at a Ford dealership, where I obtained various certifications through Ford Motor Co. I also hold Master Certification in Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and Equipment & Engine Training Council (EETC) Certification in 2 and 4 stroke engines. After 9 years of employment at the Ford dealership I decided that I wanted to pass my knowledge on to the younger generation. In 2007 I was privileged to obtain the position as the Small Engine Technology Instructor. In 2011 I obtained my Vocational I Teaching Certification from Temple University. In 2018 I obtained my Vocational II Teaching Certification through Penn State University.
