Teaching brings me joy, excitement, and enthusiasm. Knowing that I can personally make a difference for so many children, youth, and adults of all ages, while teaching diverse subject areas, courses, activity-based seminars, as well as individual classes, allows me personally to broaden my own scope of education. I strongly believe whether teaching in the classroom or online using a platform, as well as in-person or online tutoring, yields substantial benefits for students who are willing and eager to push past obstacles, learn fundamental skills, core concepts, and helps each develop a more generalized thought process with more engagement. I am passionate and enthusiastic when I teach, as I strive to include diverse lesson plans, many hands-on activities, give useful resources, valuable information, and have a zeal to help students learn something new and then be able to watch them expand upon it. I love to see when a student realizes that they finally "get it", or "just realize that they have just learned(something new), and become more confident in themselves". Affirmation and praise and ensuring all students come to understand and believe they are "Highly Intelligent" in every way possible is important. I am blessed to possess many of the skills needed and required to be a great teacher, many that were developed through my own personal, as well as, various work and volunteer experiences. While teaching at Universities, public, private formative, and secondary schools all over the continental U.S., and homeschooling my own daughter opened many doors and provided opportunities that allowed for my experience in leadership, finances, and collaboration as well for many organizations. Being able to visit landmarks and monuments that I had read about and learned during my years as a student, then being able to teach my own children the importance, history and significance were amazing. While traveling and living on three coasts, investigating and taking pictures, writing detailed information, and engaging in experiences, some familiar and others unique and taking part in many festivals, activities, and more, most dream about. It was nice to be a part of a diverse community of educators who shared unique and amazing experiences and journeys as we traveled the Continental US. I am a very organized, patient, and positive person. I love the idea that I will somehow be able to shape the future of our youth, as well as foster adult learning while fulfilling an important role in the lives of my students. I also understand the challenge and demands of teaching, but ultimately find it to be very rewarding when a student masters a goal or achieves a milestone. I have a positive personality and cheerful disposition that helps to engage students of all ages and thankfully have always been able to maintain a good rapport with the students I have taught and currently teach. I am confident in my ability to help any student with time management, study and research skills, communication skills, public speaking, and test-taking strategies as well.
It is my goal to use my Master's Degree in Public Administration, my Bachelor's degree in History, the many professional development courses, and required professional exams taken, to continue in my job as an Educator and/or Administrator while continuing with lifelong learning. While doing so, it is my desire to continue teaching my high schooler, as I have for many years, and completing her extensive portfolio for her college admission into the field of electrical engineering. Found to be rewarding and fun, I love volunteering and working where I can best utilize my skills and knowledge within a professional atmosphere, such as President of Effingham Women in Business, teaching voice and piano, leading women's groups, decorating and directing events, teaching classes on manners and tea time, hosting field trips, and traveling. I consider myself to be highly organized and detail-oriented, having more than twenty-two years of experience giving organized administrative support to many organizations and companies. Coordinating management meetings, high-level conference calls, special events, completing administrative tasks, maintaining records, typing thesis papers, grading/editing English essays, and taking on multiple tasks at once have remained essential in my day-to-day tasks. I am an individual who will go above and beyond; consider myself to have an excellent work ethic and strength in boosting companies, boards, and organizations' morale. I desire to maintain a quality-focused and committed approach to all administrative and educational leadership jobs with tenacity and attention to detail.
