Summary

Experienced high school teacher in search of a rewarding career outside of the classroom. As an educator I develop content every day. I assess it for accuracy, and I proofread and edit all materials to enhance student understanding in the classroom. I spend the majority of my day communicating through public speaking or the written word.
