About Me

Experience Summary

Offer ten years of combined corporate communications and recent teaching experience. Taught the language arts at a large high school in Tampa until 2006. Asked to instruct one-to-one, often, in my current position with Kelly Staffing Services -substitute teaching division. Received a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri School of Journalism.

Teaching Style

Prefer one-on-one instructional situations. However, I'm proven as a classroom instructor as well. My style leans toward promoting higher level thinking whenever possible.

My Hobbies

I love to golf and fish; but I also read and keep the pulse of a wide range of industries; avidly read a number of business journals.

Other Comments

My career will be clearly devoted to instruction going forward.
