"Hello prospective students, I am happy to share my life experiences with you here. I grew up next to a US Civil War battlefield in Virginia, USA and spent my childhood finding artifacts just like Indiana Jones from the movies. The only thing missing was adventure. Upon college graduation I worked in sales management roles until I realized there was no adventure to be had.

I worked closely with students and teachers to help students achieve their goals. I am not a fan of PPT. My classes are fun and require active participation at all time. You will be speaking, reading, writing, and listening - putting in effort, rather than being talked at with boring ppt's.
