I have spent many years leading small groups.  I have been a small group leader, a camp counselor, a teacher, a club leader, and a swim instructor.  I am able to foster an atmosphere of kindness and cooperation and am very good at diffusing personality conflicts. 
I have also spent a lot of time in service.  I have been a short-term missionary in Mexico, on a Native American Reservation, and at a 
 live-in home for people with mental disabilities.  I was a leader in a costuming group that was dedicated to service and coordinated with local charitable organizations on behalf of my group.  I am also a "Hero of Hope" for the American Cancer Society and was an American Cancer Society volunteer for many years.
