Experience Summary
I am excited to teach others about my passions and help develop a learning system that will work for the student. I have a Bachelor Degree in Nursing. I worked in Cardiac ICU, Oncology, IV team, Labor and Delivery and Women's Health. I left nursing to pursue my love for art which turned into working in medical devices and wearable technology. I have a strong technical design apparel background. I have worked for 4 Fortune 500 companies as a technical designer and product developer in areas of athletic (including Canadian Olympic uniforms), menswear, intimate apparel, childrenswear, juniors, medical braces and prosthetic and now wearable apparel. I have a very strong patternmaking background and teach patternmaking through learning creative geometry. I am a strong seamstress. I have advanced knowledge in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I also have a background in helping others develop their resume to get that Fortune 500 job. I can not wait to assist you in achieving your goals and making some tasty treats to snack on while we learn.
Teaching Style
Each student is different. I am dyslexic. Finding ways for each student to make the light bulb go off is such a joy. I believe in doing. Whether it is going to the hospital and talking with an experienced nurse or provider on difficult subjects or starting lines on me or any willing participants, whatever will help you learn. If it means going to as a greenhouse and seeing fractals in real life or finding geometrically forms in downtown Dallas and turning those into problems to solve. We could go to a department store, pick out a garment and make a pattern from it and then sew, fit and wear it. We could even speak with HR on what they want in a resume. I will always find a way to help you learn.
My Hobbies
Swimming, sewing, painting, drawing and making geometric 3-d shapes for decoration. I also love to joke and laugh. You will never be bored.

I want you to learn and find a love for the subject you are being tutored in. I can't wait to meet you and develop a learning system to help you.
Anatomy |
Proficiency: Expert

I found a love for anatomy from an amazing professor. He showed me how it can be fun. I want to show others that how much fun life can be through lab work and memory tactics. |
Chemistry |
Proficiency: Experienced

Chemistry is the basis of all things. It is such a joy to teach how each field of science comes back to atoms. |
Creative Arts |
This is one of my top subjects!
Proficiency: Expert
|
I am an expert in apparel design including technical design, patternmaking, costing, specs, fit, construction and textiles. I also work in Illustrator and Photoshop every day on a Mac but I know how to use both on a PC. I love drawing and painting. I am an artist at heart and would love to assist you in developing your love for art too. |
Dyslexia |
This is one of my top subjects!
Proficiency: Expert
|
I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a 1st grader. I had multiple tutors to assist me in reading and writing. I believe that people with dyslexia are some of the smartest people in the world. The only thing standing in their way is a system that helps them learn and achieve success. I will help find a way to develop your extremely talented and gifted brain into a system that works. I can also help develop your confidence. I am happy to discuss other resources that could help with learning that are outside my realm and get you those resources in a timely, cost efficient manner. I believe that whatever your goal is, it is achievable. If Richard Branson can rule Virgin with severe dyslexia, you can concur your dream and more. |
Geometry |
Proficiency: Expert
|
I enjoy creative geometry to begin with. It gives students a basis on how to turn those equations into real life. Geometry is one of my passions in life. |
Physiology |
Proficiency: Expert
|
Physiology is difficult to understand from a book. I enjoy showing how Physiology working inside yourself. Maybe why you get a brain freeze from a Slurpee or why you hiccup. I also have multiple learning devices that can assist with memorizing all the difficult functions in your body. |
Resume Writing |
This is one of my top subjects!
Proficiency: Expert
|
I am able to turn a average resume into a resume an employer would grab and not let go. I can help you turn "filed paperwork" into "organized corporate correspondence into a detailed system of compatible resources for employees". I know what HR and hiring managers want to see in a resume and keywords that will get you hired. I am also great with interviewing and would love to assist with that. |
