Summary
Teacher. Writer. Marketing Professional.
Dedicated English as a New Language (ENL) teacher skilled at developing and promoting interactive learning within a group environment. Working with K-12 children from a wide array of cultural backgrounds, my greatest success in developing language skills comes from lesson plans and teaching techniques that I customize and personalize to each child's abilities and needs.
I am also a business professional focused on freelance writing and marketing communications. I have created and managed products for consumer and B:B businesses across several industries, including fitness, technology and home security.
