Summary
After job closures in 2010 and 2016. I changed my focus to help children become improved readers. I chose several English courses over several years and decided to serve in the local schools through Americorps Ohio Read program and training. My aim is to continue helping young people become proficient or at least functional enough to improve their thinking ability through reading and writing. A background check through DPS has been approved as of April 2026. A 1 year Educational Aide Permit was issued April 8, 2026; it is effective July 1st 2026 until June 30th, 2027.
