I stand out because of my joint passion for mathematics and language. Math-oriented people have a reputation for being poor communicators; I love to find patterns in numbers and to share those patterns with others. I am equally comfortable writing creative text as solving logic puzzles.I have spent most of my professional life in market research, turning numbers into stories. When creating questionnaires, I have a commitment to making sure that the questions are clearly worded and meet the client's objectives. When writing reports, I have the skills to both dive deeply into the numbers and highlight key findings in coherent, client-friendly language. And my eye for technical detail means that even the slightest error is caught, no matter what I'm editing.I have also had roles heavy in IT support, including programming and database management. I have automated processes between Access, Excel, Powerpoint, and Word in VBA; I have been the resident SPSS guru, preparing training materials for colleagues; I have programmed surveys in VB. As a teacher, I continue to implement these skills. The primary role of a teacher is to translate high-level concepts into user-friendly language. I can bring this experience as an educator to play in a corporate training position. At the same time, teachers have to adjust their message for multiple stakeholders: Students, colleagues, administrators, and parents.The recurring thread throughout each of my positions has been this drive to convert the technical into the friendly. If you are seeking someone to act as a bridge between your technical department and your client-management team, please consider me.
