Introduction I am a very creative and fun teacher, as well as an effective instructional leader. My diverse professional experiences have prepared me well for teaching, and I am looking forward to showing my students how to apply mathematical concepts in real life situations. As a former computer analyst and business owner, I have referred to the logic and necessity of mathematics throughout my adult life, and thus, have a very strong foundation to share with my students as they prepare for college and future careers.Teaching & Tutoring ExperienceField ExperiencesMiddletown High School, Middletown, CT - June – July, 2011Hall High School, West Hartford, CT - June, 2011Thurgood Marshall Middle School at 6 to 6, Bridgeport, CT - June, 2011Trumbull High School, Trumbull, CT - May, 2011 Tutor and Teacher’s AssistantState University of New York - Albany - Fall 1980-Spring 1982 Worked with students in the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) Responsible for specialized tutoring services for remedial students Proctored exams and graded assignmentsScrapbooking and Arts & Crafts Instructor Momento Scrapbooking & Paper Arts, Milford, CT - 2006-2008 Developed and taught scrapbooking classes Facilitated classes during birthday parties and Girl Scout meetings Designed appropriate courses for children, teens and adults Fostered an environment where clients of all ages could express themselves creatively without fearProfessional Speaking and PresentationsGroup Operations, Inc, Boston, MA - January 1986 As a consultant to the US Air Force, created a lesson plan and taught a course to introduce a new computer systemNASDAQ, Trumbull, CT - 1987-2006 Facilitated business presentations in many professional settings
