I am a highly self-motivated, dedicated individual that always puts forth the best effort possible. I try to get as much out of any experience that I have in terms of both knowledge and practical use. My college studies involve an Bachelors and a Masters in Accounting. However, after college, I volunteered for two years with the Episcopal Service Corps. In my first year, I worked at a halfway house in Chicago called St. Leonard's Ministries. St. Leonard's mission is to help those who are coming home from prison find jobs and transition back into society. My work there included job development, and teaching clients computer skills, math, and job readiness. My second year of service was spent at an Episcopal church in Hollywood. There I developed social media, taught Sunday school, and performed maintenance work. Those two years taught me that I have a strong interest in not only serving others, but also teaching them. I love seeing people realize their own potential and helping them to better their lives.I currently work at the Cook County jail in Chicago. I teach detainees the basics of math, language arts, science, and social studies to help prepare them to take the GED test. I also facilitate the students taking the GED test, and coordinate the development of a state-mandated curriculum.
Listed skills include Nonprofits, Training, Public Speaking, Event Planning, and 24 others.
