I did my field experience teaching in Elementary and Middle schools. I have a bachelor degree in English Linguistics and a minor in teaching English as a second language.

I taught high school classes for several years, and also worked in IT as a trainer and troubleshooter. I was asked to direct a community college basic skills program, and did so for 7 years, rising to a Dean's level. I have more recently taught and consulted for a private primary school.
