Experience Summary
My experiences have been varied. I taught Family and Consumer Science for two years. Life experiences broadened my world view and I obtained a master's degree. My experiences include working in a governor’s office, years of substitute teaching several subjects in grades 3-12, and working as an administrative assistant. I later was a school counselor in a K-12 system and then did community counseling and owned a counseling center. Specific skills required for these varied positions include excellent English, business and financial management, positive communication skills, life skills, knowledge about physical and mental health, and biological sciences.
Teaching Style
My greatest enjoyment in teaching is when a student ‘discovers’ their ability to overcome their negative self belief. I guide students through their learning process with gentle encouragement and patience. In this process I use a variety of teaching methods, the selection of which depends upon the learning style of the student. I believe in supporting the student and celebrating with them when they succeed.
