I am a Computer Literacy Teacher with the New Castle County Vocational Technical School district. My career goal is to make learning interesting and fun yet effective, by incorporating technology in all aspect of teaching. At the end of a semester, my students should feel confident and comfortable to use the Internet to expand their knowledge beyond the limits of a classroom.



This résumé summarizes my life and interests.  Click each link below to find out more.





Education

I attended the University of Rochester and graduated with a B.A. in Health and Society.  Health and Society is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on social science and includes courses ranging from Sociology, Medical Anthropology, Applied Statistics, Human Behavior, Biology, Chemistry, etc.

I received most of my computer training from the AmeriCorps "KickStart" Program. AmeriCorps is a national service program; It is the state side equivalent to the PeaceCorps. I joined the program after college because I wanted to give back to the community.  This was a very rewarding opportunity. I taught teachers, administrators, senior citizens, and other community members throughout the state of Delaware, to use Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Internet, and E-mail.
