As I prepare to segue into the next chapter of life, after over two decades as a teacher, I am looking to get noticed by prospective employers outside of education. I am looking in to getting into marketing / sales, media sales, or corporate training. My experience as a teacher has allowed me to design lessons, informally mentor newer colleagues, create lessons while tailoring them for the needs and abilities to my students. In my years in the classroom, I became experienced at analyzing data of where my students were, are, and need to be. Primarily, I am twenty-two year (2000-2022) veteran educator teaching middle school English Language Arts (ELA) of my 26 years in their education field, starting out as a 5th grade teacher from 1998-2000. In 2022, I made my way back into elementary school where I taught English as well as science, social studies, and health. In 2023, I started "the best job in the world" teaching STEM to K-5 (5-11) students. For over sixteen years, I've been a certified English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher in which I've served as a facilitator and testing coordinator for an annual high stakes test. I've taught students from over thirty countries spanning five continents with students ranging from middle school to adulthood. I have ushered over forty students into US citizenship by helping prepare them for their exam. In 2018, I was certified as a Holocaust education instructor, recognized by the Governor's Advisory Council on Education Relating to the Holocaust. This experience has helped afford me the opportunity to design meaningful courses for colleagues as well as students.In 2022, I started volunteering with FIRST Nevada where I teach students to code our robots. I have conducted "coding camps" on my own time. The experience of being a STEM teachers has given me the opportunity of write grants for STEM equipment for my site. I have been granted almost $20,000 in funds.Throughout my career in education, I have extensive experience starting a program from the scatch. I created numerous adult ELL programs due to materials provided to me not matching the needs of my students from 2002 to 2017. In 2005, I created my site' ELL program from the ground up, which I successfully ran until 2009. I established 2 robotics teams since 20222 as well as developed successful STEM program this year.
