I have a master's degree in business administration and worked for Ernst & Young as a management consultant for over 9 years. I also have a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and have worked as a chemical engineer for 7 years.  In addition, I started and ran my own business for many years before becoming a teacher. I was able to sell the company and have it work successfully so that it is still operational and thriving today.  I worked in the chemical industry, the automotive industry, and the computer industry.  I've also traveled and dealt with companies in many countries. Teaching this specific style of current events class has been my joy for a long time! I have 16 years of experience teaching middle and high school classrooms, and specifically delivering instruction at that level on the topic of social studies, world geography, and current events. I've also taught worldwide in multi-cultural environments in industry, and have several years of experience teaching on online platforms.
