I have 22 years of teaching experience: 5 years at the elementary level and 17 years at the university level. My strongest attribute has always been my rapport with students. As my lifelong career as an educator would suggest, I have a passion for teaching. In addition, I enjoy the experience of cultural immersion. I have taught at the elementary level for two years in Medellin, Colombia (1991-1993) and have taught at the university level at Keimyung University in Daegu, South Korea (2010-2012). I enjoyed my experience in Daegu immensely–so much so that I look forward to returning to South Korea once more. As I am now retired from academia, I look forward to once again teaching young children. I possess a wealth of patience when working with children, and both my vast experience and maturity help me to navigate with a calm demeanor any unexpected hiccups that may arise in the teaching process.
