Michael Flowers

The professional world offers boundless opportunities, and I am driven to harness my diverse experiences in education, sports management, and marketing to excel in dynamic environments. My career journey spans Special Education, Human Resources, and marketing, showcasing a blend of skills that position me as a versatile leader and strategic thinker.

As a Special Education Teacher in District 300 at Carpentersville Middle School, I crafted engaging small-group activities, championed social-emotional growth, and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to create differentiated instruction and curriculum adaptations. These experiences honed my ability to foster inclusive environments, address diverse learning needs, and achieve measurable outcomes, such as an 80% improvement in student academic performance through targeted interventions.

During my tenure as Marketing/League Director at Progression Volleyball, I oversaw league operations, developed and executed social media strategies, and coordinated tournaments, resulting in an 80% growth in program enrollment. My officiating career with organizations like USAV, IHSA, and PAVO further refined my leadership, decision-making, and conflict resolution skills under high-pressure situations.

I hold a Master of Arts in Special Education from Aurora University and a Bachelor of Science in Marketing & Ethics from Adrian College, where I founded the Men's Volleyball Program and served as president of multiple organizations, demonstrating my initiative, leadership, and ability to inspire teams.
