Kathryn O'Shields, Phd Email & Phone Number

I have been working in academia for the last decade, teaching graduate and undergraduate courses in linguistics and speech pathology while doing freelance editing and writing on the side. I am currently seeking more teaching jobs and also looking to branch out into the non-academic sector to do language-related consulting, training, annotation, instructional design, and/or product management.My advanced degree and teaching experience have equipped me with:+ excellent written/spoken communication and interpersonal skills+ course planning and designing expertise, including the ability to implement effective learning tools (e.g., lessons, assessments, and activities)+ the self-motivation, reliability, and responsibility to manage diverse groups of people with different skillsets and interests+ intellectual curiosity and a passion for exploring other disciplines and new concepts+ access to "beginner's mind" in order to see a topic from other peoples' perspective and monitor their progress toward mastering a goal+ the versatility to toggle between big-picture ideas and the finer details of a theory or project+ genuine enthusiasm about the content I share with others and the intent to watch them succeed+ openness to questions and persistence in finding accurate answers+ receptivity to feedback, evaluation, and suggestions on how best to help the students, coworkers, and institutions I serve
