• Excellent command of social perception skills to understand when students are having issues but also having trouble expressing themselves verbally.
• Ability to select and develop a variety of learning strategies in order to provide education to students with a range of abilities in the classroom.
• Selective attention skills that are useful for concentrating on one student's tutoring session without being distracted by other students or teachers in the surrounding environment.
• Professional communication skills, including the ability to converse with students, parents or teachers at their level via telephone, email, or in person.
• Ability to recognize and understand speech different from my own, including the speech of still-developing students or people who have accents.

I enjoy spending my time helping children and families however I can. Each year, I run the local holiday toy drive. I also provide tutoring services for battered women who are trying to get their GEDs to become more self-sufficient. Outside of education and outreach, I enjoy music, video games and a good sale.
