PROJECTS
Script Reader – I am a script reader. My long history as an English teacher has given me the experience to evaluate the premise, structure, dialogue, character arc and many other elements of any script that I am reading. My long history as a Toastmaster has given me the experience to evaluate any piece of work thoroughly, to provide meaningful, constructive feedback and to do it in a kind and supportive manner.

English Teacher – I teach English as a Foreign Language to adults all over the world in an online forum. I teach reading, writing, pronunciation and conversation. I have also taught Public Speaking. I have developed a unique approach that helps my students to learn rapidly in an enjoyable environment. I use Zoom to conduct my online class sessions which include PowerPoint lesson plans, a whiteboard that the entire class can use, and the ability to upload pictures and video clips quickly when I need to explain a concept.

Technical Writer – For many years I owned and operated a nationwide technical writing service. I catered to the medical and the medical/legal industry. I wrote medical records and med-legal reports. I oversaw research documents, lecture preparation, speech writing and manuscript writing. I developed a shorthand app that allowed me to type 200 WPM accurately. I had many clients and employees all over the country that I served in an on-line capacity.

Toastmaster – I have achieved the designation of Distinguished Toastmaster, which is the highest educational level to achieve in this organization. Toastmasters is a public speaking workshop, but it also teaches effective feedback and leadership. Although I have achieved all I can achieve in Toastmasters, I continue to stay involved because I enjoy mentoring the new members. I have served in many levels of leadership including Club President, Area Director and District Pathways Ambassador. I have also chaired many large Toastmasters events including speech contests, training seminars and educational conferences.

Education – San Diego State University, BA, Linguistics.

Certificates – Technical Writing, ESL Teaching, Hollywood Screenreaders
