Experience Summary

I have been working with MS Office for over 20 years. I created various projects within all programs in MS Office. I keep my skills updated in all versions of MS Excel, MS Word, MS Publisher, and MS PowerPoint. To add, I have learned what new features have been added to each program and what features no longer are operable within certain versions. I started off working with MS Office 22 years ago at the age of 18. My job was to edit and maintain MS Excel spreadsheets and create documents in MS Office. I went on to work as an Executive Secretary for a Settlements Department at a major bank in downtown Los Angeles. My job was to maintain the company budget in MS Excel. I also was responsible for training employees, new employees, and supervisors on how to use MS Excel as we transitioned out of Lotus 123. I later joined the U.S. Air Force, where I worked as an Aerospace Engineer. Although my primary job was to buildup and tear down GE-100 engines, my job did not stop there. I also was selected to work in our flight office to handle various reports and databases all of which were in MS Excel and MS Access. I created multiple documents in MS Word and all PowerPoint Presentations. After doing my service in military, I became a volunteer for Americorps where I assisted teen parents with continuing their education. I held several MS Office courses and also maintained the department spreadsheets for various grants we received for our Eastern Plains Council of Governments in Clovis NM. Later I went on to pursue my degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Computer Information Systems. Here is where I discovered what I wanted to do as a career. I since become an expert in MS Office.

Teaching Style

I learned from experience that a student should never be expected to automatically know the answers. I remember being told in a C++ course I took that I needed to create a program. Unfortunately, I was expected to already know the code. I feel that teachers should never give assignments for students to complete without first teaching it. So my goal is to teach everything the student needs to know and guide them in their assignments. My teaching style is to demonstrate a particular project first and then assist the student in what they have learned from me.
