My work experiences include positions as retail and financial manager. I also have years of sales experience. I have been in either a sales or finance environment for most of my work life. While I have been successful in sales and in customer service, neither are a passion of mine or something I would like to continue doing as a career.
I’m looking forward to completing my education and starting my lifelong career as an educator.
I have had at least 8 online classes between my undergraduate courses and today.
I have pretty basic skills in Microsoft office. I can create documents in Word, spreadsheets in Excel, and presentations in PowerPoint. I had taken courses in publishing and publishing software in my undergraduate years, but it has been so long that they are no longer relevant and I do not remember how to use all the items.
I usually use email for school or for keeping in touch with coupons for my favorite retailers. I hate sorting email, but I like the ease of use for composing and sending. I never really use chat, and I only use discussion boards for my online classes.
I like to watch clips on YouTube, but I do not watch podcasts or follow many blogs. I have never created clips, podcast, or blogs of my own.
My teaching philosophy is that everyone has the right and the ability to learn. Educators must devote time and attention to every student to provide them with the most relevant experience possible.
I have not had experience teaching, but I hope to integrate much technology into my instruction.
