PROFILE
I possess several years of experience, both inside and outside of the classroom, working
with young adults, educating and training them in the automotive, small engines, wood working,
and metal working realms. I have also been responsible for training colleagues on various
Microsoft and Google software programs in professional development sessions and mentoring new
employees in my district. Throughout the years I have gained valuable and creative experience in
these areas thus setting a high standard for myself and students to work safely in and out of the
classroom. In addition to my teaching experience, I possess eight years of experience performing
various duties in a grocery retail setting. Daily duties included ordering and transferring product
from vendors, presentation of the store’s product to consumers, as well as ordering and delivering
of product to local businesses and training new employees to work efficiently and safely.
