While serving as both a Program Manager and Director of Tutor Readiness, Bobby developed and implemented onboarding, management, and compliance processes to drive the delivery of over 10,000 tutors and 50,000 virtual tutoring lessons across ten states.
Bobby lives in Baltimore City with his wife and daughter. During his free time, he enjoys attending soccer practice with his daughter, traveling with family, and fishing.
