Experience Summary
As a practicing librarian and archivist I have spent ten years helping children and adults navigate library resources and conduct research in various fields including Old English, Spanish, Latin literature, Business, Nursing, Physical Therapy, and the History of Science. As an undergraduate I studied English literature where I developed my writing and grammar skills and complemented that work with study of Latin Literature (I received a minor in this field). Studying Latin improved my vocabulary and comprehension of the structure of language.
Teaching Style
Prior to my work in libraries I spent five years working as the supervisor of an after school program and summer camp for children ages 6 - 12. I developed a stern but kind teaching style which allowed me to manage over 150 children and 10 full time staff. It is with patience, genuine interest, and enthusiasm that I approach any human interaction and this is particularly important in a learning environment. I appreciate that everyone has his or her own unique learning style which I honor.
