Experience Summary
I had spent most of my professional career with the Follett Higher Education Group and sincerely enjoyed working in this academic environment. In my role as Media Manager, I created and implemented media plans for numerous college bookstores across the US and in Canada. As part of an Integrated Marketing team, I worked closely with the directors of various departments, as well as store and regional managers in the field, to develop effective and cost-efficient promotions for the bookstores.
To continue developing my leadership skills, I joined Toastmasters International. For the past year I had been the VP of Membership of the Oak Brook Speakers club. I now lead the club's Public Relations effort.
Teaching Style
I consider myself to be very empathetic. As such, I try to put myself in the shoes of the student I am teaching in an attempt to understand what motivates him/her most effectively.
I feel that learning is best acheived when both the student and the tutor are approaching the problem from the same perspective.
