Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor’s Degree in Hospitality Management from University of South Carolina
I am an Air Force Veteran - I've spent a large part of my career speaking as the President of Community Service Affairs on the base I was stationed at as well as travelling with my unit. On the civillian side - I went to college and had a career in Hospitality where public speaking has a HUGE impact in my work environment. From speaking at conventions, to working within the sales department at many hotels greeting VIP clientele and building connections with as many guests as possible. I homeschool my two children and teach public speaking and songwriting in one of our co-op groups. I've been doing so (joyfully) for about 4 years now. Reviews
