Building on a foundation of training and curriculum development within the public school environment, I have added experiences at the community college and university level, as well as the corporate & non-profit environment. I have studied, taught, researched, and written grants. Also, I have published articles, presented at local, state and national conferences, experienced developing textbooks from within the publishing community, and mentored new trainers. All of these experiences gave me opportunities to explore teaming techniques, goal setting, best practices, creative thinking, communication initiatives, and project management applications.
