"My life experience proves that all things are possible with faith, persistence and a desire to be more than anyone thought possible. I want to give back to students what I've found in working with and overcoming obstacles. Learning isn't always easy, but it is well worth the effort. Some of us, including myself, need more time and patience to learn for information to be understood and applied. Because I've been there, I can transfer and apply my knowledge and expertise to others.

My experience includes childcare where I implemented learning strategies and experiences into my care. I've worked with children with learning and behavioral disabilities along with my own 2 children. Over many years, I've helped my friends' children with their homework. I also taught missions education for school age children for 3.5 years and now teach Adult Sunday School for about 2 years now. For 3 years I helped care for a child who needed assistance with physical and occupational therapy. Even my youth years were spent in volunteer recreational activities with the elderly since my mom worked at a nursing home. Since both my boys have behavioral and learning disabilities, I'm experienced in understanding I.E.P.'s. I've done a lot of research into learning techniques so that I can teach my children and myself as well. I've had college classes in Child Development, Infant and Toddler Development, and just completed Supporting Students with Disabilities class.

I also like to add I have 15 years of clerical and secretarial experience. Positions include: hotel sales-marketing; non-profit-field staff support; medical-administrative, publishing and media; tax preparation-assistant; grocery-cashier, customer service; government-receptionist, census enumerator. All this expertise in office skills and abilities I can share with others who need help in those areas.
