I am most proud of my work the last 3 years, the school principal & I worked tirelessly to advertise & campaign for our school. We were able to fundraiser enough money to save our school from closing; providing a solid financial ground for years to come. From April of 2022 to November of 2025, we were also successful in increasing our enrollment from 60 to 102 students with targeted marketing campaigns created in house by the two of us.
