Experience
In the past year I began substitute teaching English to foreign students, ages seven to early twenties. I find this very rewarding and take pride in watching the students expand their knowledge of the English language and practice their skills. I love to write and feel for individuals who do not enjoy it. I am hoping that not only my love for the skill can be shared, but that I can help them broaden their skillset and find success in all endeavors. I have completed and excelled at various writing courses: Creative Writing, Poetry, Composition and Rhetoric, Business Writing, Internet Text, Popular Culture involving Writing, English, and Linguistics. I have also completed Latin I and II (high school level), and Latin III-V (college level), American Literature, Shakespeare, British Literature, Victorian Literature, African American/Slavery Literature, and Basic Literature. I was on my high school newspaper staff for 3 years, 2002-2005. I held the position of Business Manager and also wrote published articles every month. I was also published during this time in a local magazine and had works submitted to scholastic writing contests. Since 2014 I have been volunteering at a local nonprofit office, in FL, and utilizing my skills to revamp the informative and directive literature. I trained to become a therapist and have been educated in concepts of clinical writing. I am certified in HIV Awareness, Aggression Diffusion, Blood Born Pathogens, HIPPA, First Aid and CPR. I have acquired various licenses for an exotic animal and captive wildlife nonprofit I run, including: Class III ESC, Nonprofit 501(c)(3), state nonprofit licensing, local charity licensing, and Class B Dealer USDA. Currently I am working on my Class II medium sized cat licensing. I have also conducted many events and encounters, educating people about animals and bringing awareness to the truth about fur farms and keeping wild animals as pets.

Hobbies
Greetings! I am a passionate, educated, unique, and warm individual. As stated before, I am the CEO/Founder of a local captive wildlife and exotic animal nonprofit. Currently I am putting my organization on hold to explore more career oriented avenues. I plan to some day resume my mission to help save animals and spread awareness. In my free time I do yoga, snorkel, and interact with various species. I live in West Boca with my longtime boyfriend and our various animal children. I love to read and spend time outside. I am a spiritual person and enjoy giving back to the community. I have grown up volunteering and officiating at Special Olympics (both PA and FL) since I was ten years old. I am dependable and very driven. Your son or daughter's (or your's personally) success is my success. I am here to help as much as I can and I look forward to helping them succeed!
