After 20 years as a secondary English teacher, I am exploring new opportunities outside of the classroom. Throughout my career, I have honed a diverse set of transferable skills, including communication, critical thinking, collaboration, strategic planning, and, of course, teaching & training – all staples of the teaching profession, and all for cohorts of up to 120 participants at a time. I have authored countless internal professional documents and communications, I have presented to audiences numbering in the hundreds, and I have regularly improved key performance indicators by up to 40% in as little as one academic year.I also have a wide variety of interests, including philosophy & ethics, language & literature, and history, as well as travel, thrifting, photography, and arts & aesthetics in general. I am passionate about exploring the nuances of human experience and fostering connections across diverse disciplines.I hope to match my skills and interests with an organization that shares my goal -- to make the world a more beautiful, knowledgeable, and caring place.
