Cody Bray
My most significant professional accomplishments include helping co-workers through content and curriculum specialization, catalyzing school-wide policy change by reshaping the fixed mindsets of existing teachers to ones of growth, and being able to mentor my students. For now, I am learning about different paths, requirements, and opportunities for a new career field. Currently, I am looking to take on freelance projects (online tutoring, making and selling handmade crafts, house sitting, web design, etc.), and am always interested in a challenge.
