Summary
I recently retired from teaching reading and English as a second language for twenty-two years. Now, I find myself missing the connection that I made with my students and staff. I am looking for a remote position at a workplace where I may apply my expertise and build positive relationships with the community. In doing research, I found Amergis to be that community. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
