A loan helped a small town have big options.


Carolyn's story

I am a fierce mother of three children, author, entrepreneur, and business strategist focused on helping others achieve their goals.

I am the owner of Acton Midwest private school, where the philosophy is clear thinking which leads to good decisions, good decisions lead to the right habits, The right habits lead to character and Character becomes destiny, I am also a consultant and thought leader for Case Western Reserve University as a leader within the Xchange approach, an initiative built upon a scientifically based, multi-disciplinary approach for leading and managing teams. In addition, I am currently publishing a second book focused on academic entrepreneurism and am the Executive Director of 1Life Fully Lived, a nonprofit organization that provides people of all backgrounds the tools to achieve success.
With a soon to be Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership and Behavior, an MBA, and a BA in Business, I understand the importance of education and I am passionate about uniting as a human race to elevate each other, remain positive through challenges, and rise above the noise to build stronger communities.

From standing in a food line at the Salvation Army being served food to servant leadership on the board of the Salvation Army. I seek to empower students K- 8 to live meaningful lives by providing an environment where they discover their unique strengths, learn real-world skills, and grow in good character. Children get one shot at their education, so they need to learn what matters most.
