Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Webster University
For the  last five years I have been a substitute teacher for grades Pre-K through 8th.  This role has given me experience in dealing with teaching social studies, history and ELA.  

I also teach a very successful course on Outschool, "Racism and Black Lives Matter".  This course teaches about slavery, the history of racism and Black Lives Matter.  My reviews have been excellent. 

As a former Director of HR, who was a member of the Senior Leadership Team, I helped deal with sensitive discrimination issues when there was alleged discrimination. I have also provided sensitivity training to employees to help them celebrate diversity instead of  practicing discrimination. .
