I have worked for over 32 years in both the public education sector as well as within a private business. My certification is for Kindergarten through Adult education and I have always thought of myself as being a lifelong learner. I have a demonstrated history of working in the education management industry. Skilled in Art Education, Classroom Management, Lesson Planning and Assessments, Educational Technology, Professional Working Artist, Public Speaking, and Presenter at national and local conferences and workshops. Art conservation, matting and framing of artwork is a skill that I hold. I have curated art shows in many establishments for myself and other artists. Multitasking is a strength as well as being detail orientated along the way. Within my masters degree program my focus was on ancient art and architecture as well as artists of the renaissance. My brain tends to be a magnet to those areas of focus in galleries.I have served on many leadership teams throughout my career and have been department head at my school working with school budget and spending as well as writing curriculum for all districts that I have worked for.
