"Currently my service in the Tunbridge community is as a DivorceCare Leader and volunteer. I moved to this area from Harrisburg PA after serving as a Technology Director for twelve years at Penn State University - Harrisburg Campus.

Competencies:

* Excel. 12 years experience using Excel to manage and update budgets. Currently: Using Excel to update and manage my own personal budget after taking nine-week course called Financial Peace University from Dave Ramsey.

* Music Theory. Studied music theory and earned bachelor's and master's degrees in Music. Practical experience teaching music theory including: key signatures, time signatures, rhythm, circle of fifths, intervals, ear training for people who want to sing with a group.

Fifteen of my professional years are as an instructional technology manager. Students have rated my teaching skills well as a college adjunct instructor. Students took courses in computer fundamentals, building their own computer in teams. They also studied with me for computer networking.

Most of the experience my gift has given me is learning from the students as much as I teach them.

My perseverance come from hours in the practice room as a trombonist. Research skills come from many, many hours over years in university and public libraries.

Students like to work with me because they know I genuinely care about them and put them first.

I like to work with students because of the personal satisfaction of seeing them grow, improve and prepare.

Several of my students have gone into professional fields far surpassing what I taught them in college. I'm very proud of them." less...
