Summary

Trained and skillful savant in various fields in the professional world such as clinical labs, title Insurance companies, and electrician business office help. Patient care is my thriving environment that gives me purpose and makes me a philomath for genetics and general science.

I enjoyed title insurance as I liked data entry in policy typing, and typed 60 wpm. Performing title searches, and fulfilling ownership and encumbrances orders provided me investigative skills that I have applied in my personal life avoiding housing scams on craigslist etc. I learned a great deal about property investment being an appreciating asset.

Private tutoring was a very rewarding job since children are such a joy to work with, and so much fun to be around! They are so smart, and at times, I learn more from them than they do from me. Tutoring granted me the privilege to interact with such a gifted 11 year old mind.
