Teacher expertise and credentials
During my senior year of high school, I mentored incoming freshmen. During my undergraduate college experience, I served as an Ambassador to prospective students and Orientation Leader to incoming freshmen & international students. I was a peer resource to those students throughout the school year. I have 8 years of experience working with high school learners with hearing loss in public and charter schools. A majority of the focus with the high school learners has been on learning about their rights as a person with a disability, how to write their resumes, how to find jobs and apply for them, and other life skills.Reviews
