Experience
While in graduate school I was a teachers assistant teaching anatomy and physiology I and II. I have done extensive editing and co-writing of books for various businesses. In addition I have done copy writing for websites to improve their search engine optimization. I publish my own blog as well as write a blog for the local ABC TV affiliate in Milwaukee, WI. Throughout my career I have found myself in teaching positions. I have been a sales trainer in pharmaceutical and medical device companies teaching medical terminology and pharmacology. My unique combinations of knowledge (English and Physiology) makes me an excellent technical writer and communicator. I am a certified teacher's assistant in Montessori school education and help at my sons' school when I can. I really enjoy teaching and currently own my own adventure company. I am an international speaker and consultant and simply love to teach. I've been told that I am excellent at breaking complex information into digestible pieces. I want to tutor as a way of giving back and fulfilling my need to teach. In addition this is a job I can do around my family's schedule and a way to add to the family income.

Hobbies
I am an adrenaline junkie enjoying whitewater kayaking, mountain biking and just about anything adventure travel can bring me. I have two sons ages 10 and 12 and am extremely involved in their Montessori school. I have studied the methodology of Montessori and I use it in my day to day teaching as it makes learning fun and really helps a student understand the concepts put before them.
