Skills
I am a technologically savvy individual with a positive attitude and a willingness to be a lifelong learner. I am able to
teach students how to use platforms including Google Docs and website creation through Weebly. I am proficient with
both Apple Software and Microsoft. I have been teaching both students and adults for the last 6 years and able to
adjust my methods to the learner. Working in special education, I also have developed several methods to motivate
students who traditionally do not have the innate desire or ability to learn easily.
