I am a retired Library Media Specialist. I have evidence to demonstrate skill in presenting concepts, creating innovative technological products, and presenting ideas clearly yet creatively to engage the audience. I have a great presentation voice, can carry a tune, and expressively vary my voice to engage listeners. I have some experience with composing short songs and layered speech pieces using a creative process called the Orff Schulwerk. I write poetry, some prose. I have a large vocabulary and as a lover of books, I collect words whenever possible. Finally, I certainly am very capable of typing documents quickly and accurately. I have experience with tracking assets and library collections. Having won technology competitions, not only have I demonstrated ability to use a variety of platforms such as Google Suite and Microsoft Office, I can teach others to do so as well. Please look over my resume. I believe you will find evidence of my talents.
