As the Executive Director of Facilities for Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, I had the privilege of overseeing the operation and maintenance of 9 million square feet across numerous facilities, serving over 50,000 students daily. My primary goal was to provide a safe and distraction-free environment for both staff and students, ensuring optimal conditions for teaching and learning. I am committed to maximizing efficiency and impact, especially when working within constrained budgets. Utilizing data-driven decision-making, I ensured that resources were allocated effectively, while fostering transparency through comprehensive reporting and clear metrics. This approach not only optimized operations but also built trust and confidence among stakeholders, which was instrumental in securing alternative funding sources and achieving sustainable improvements
