Camping, travel, Arts and Crafts, Crocheting

My husband and I enjoy camping year round. We enjoy the mountains, lakes and beaches. We love to travel to different places in the United States. Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida are some of our favorites. Crocheting is another hobby. I enjoy making blankets and throws for my family and friends,

Additional Information

I am a dedicated employee. I take pride in my work and always strive to go above and beyond what is expected. I have excellent people skills and am a team player. As an office manager I affectively ran the day to day operations, implemented new bookkeeping and computer programs as well as billing and payables. Also was in charge of scheduling orders and pickups of material. When teaching I always met my year end goals and my students also met their goals. I implemented lesson plans, small group lessons to meet each student on their level. Used Google classroom and Google meets to work with the students as groups and as individuals. Attended professional development sessions to learn and implement new ways of teaching the students to help them learn to the best of their abilities. Create good communication with the parents to form a support system for each student. Kept an open line of communication at all times.
