Statement about Education: I am an Educator

My passion for education, youth development, cultural studies, case management, and research are the driving force for the work that I currently do. My employment choices and experiences have prepared me to work as a change agent within education, the arts, social justice, youth development, and the current adversities facing urban children and their families in an administrative as well as classroom instruction capacity. I believe that with the right support anyone can succeed. That being said, it is my belief that this support is a part of a community effort.

I am a multilingual management specialist with expertise in merchandising, educational program development as well as classroom instruction. I have the drive, skill, wherewithal, passion, pedagogical knowledge and flexibility needed to execute properly the position which you are hiring. Those words are not just words to me; the field of education is a life's passion and is a subject that I pursue with precision and focus. The one thing that set me a part and makes me different is I have desire and passion.

The current resume reflects my time spent in San Francisco (1995-2002) and the work I did with the youth in the LGBT community, Mobilization against Aids International, Health Gap Coalition and various other organization. I mention this because these were foundational positions I was responsible for maintaining and expanding. These are the places I learned my ethic of dedication to phenomenal work. I shaped my skill as an educator in those first positions, years before I actually became an educator.
