Experience Summary
As a Director of Finance, I worked with people with disabilities for more than twenty years. I was required administrative staff to interact with the people with disabilities. My interactive duties were to relieve direct program staff for lunch. I came to know the population as people with personalities and souls. I learned more from them than they did from me.
As Executive Director of a not-for-profit, I worked with inner-city youth of Indianapolis for ten years. We provided an educational program promoting: school attendance, non-gang membership, non-drug use, non-smoking and critical program solving skills.
I hold a Substitute Teaching Certificate from the State of Indiana.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is to cover required material in an understandable-informal manner. I expect students to ask questions until they are comfortable with the material. I also expect students to be attentive and well behaved in the classroom setting, leaving time for informal discussion when students and the teacher may come to know one another. Day-to-day application of school textbook information means more to students than just memorization for tests. Results are important when ascertained with integrity, knowledge and problem solving.
