Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
As a student in grade school, I was active on the speech and debate team.  Going into college, speeches moved more into the giving of verbal reports and practice preaching.  Today I use these techniques in my daily job of training associates in teaching techniques within customer service, as well as in preaching and vlogging.  In a world where communication is vital, I feel a responsibility to help others communicate properly so that they can be heard.
