I’m an experienced vocational educator with 10 years of experience in both web and traditional printed advertising, with promotions, events, and various campaigns. I have worked on integrated campaigns for clients such as Pet Valu, Pet Smart, Career Safe and Calvert County Local Government, and have been recognized with several awards during my career.I have been employed here in Israel for the last four years, focused on English as a second language instructor in local high schools and with Burlington English in Karmiel. In this role I have taught B2B English Language communication skills as well as one-on-one and small group learning sessions, although I have done extensive teaching in the vocational sector as a graphic designer/printer and media specialist for the web I also possess skills in special education and adult learning. Successes included creating new academic opportunities for career advancement, entrance to academic institutions in Israel and cultural preparation for long-term military endorsements abroad.Colleagues know me as a highly creative teacher who can always be trusted to come up with a new approach. But I know that the client’s business comes first, and I never try to impose my ideas on others. Instead, I spend a lot of time understanding the business and the audience before suggesting ideas. I have retail experience in electronics both from Office Depot stateside and also here in Israel.I can (and often do) work well alone, but I’m at my best collaborating with others as a fully integrated team member.I have completed the ministry of education’s requirements for public school certification and was a certified teacher of 12 years from the College of Notre Dame in Baltimore Maryland and have a BFA from the Virginia Commonwealth University,I’m currently freelancing as a copywriter while I pursue new opportunities and can be reached either through this profile or by phone at 972-052-551-9857
