years of professional experience

I have had a wonderful time teaching public school as a substitute and contract teacher. The time spent with children and teens was priceless. I also experienced the joy of teaching Sunday School and organizing Vacation Bible Schools for many years. I volunteered in retirement homes to attend to the emotional and spiritual needs of aging clients. All of this will hopefully show my next employer that if the work climate at their company is nurturing, I will go out of my way to do my absolute best for them.
