A Little Bit About Me...

I have spent the majority of my adult life acquiring my undergraduate degree and masters degree. I have been driven to achieve and consider myself a life-long learner. T My career experience has been focused on counseling for people in crisis situations and in long-term care settings for adults. I have extensive training and experience in helping people realize their potential. I am very patient.
I have worked closely with children and families, focusing mainly on information necessary for change. I am very easy-going and affable, and willing to adapt to a person's needs. I believe that individuals can learn once they understand how they best do so.

A Little Bit About Me...

I believe that patience and flexibility are keys to effective teaching. I practice collaborative learning, in which the student helps to shape and is an active participant in the learning process. Thus, the student's needs become the driving force in the educational approach. This approach is both creative and takes commitment on the part of both teacher and student. I truly value education, and I appreciate the opportunity to help students gain knowledge.

During my graduate years, I worked as a research assistant and editor for one of my professors. In addition, I tutored incoming students in reading and study skills. Upon graduating, I began teaching basic and developmental writing. This experience gave me the opportunity to explain writing ... read more
