Teaching Style
Varied. I am educated in counseling and education within my degree from Lee University, and how to tailor my teaching to the needs of others. I provide a lot of visual aids, and I am a very hands-on instructor, but I am also prepared to offer Powerpoint Presentations, Lectures, activities such as games, I also believe fully in the need to incorporate students within the deaf community for the optimal learning experience.
My Hobbies
I enjoy time within the deaf community, we recently went deaf bowling, and had a blast. I enjoy hiking, walking my dogs, reading, learning. I spend a lot of time outdoors, camping, traveling to different beaches.
