Experience

Boone County Public Library

• United States
• Libraries
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Youth Services Associate

  • Jan 2014 - Present

  I plan and implement literacy-enriched story time programs for preschoolers, STEM based programming for elementary school age students, and special programs for families such as Family Nature Day, holiday celebrations, and cultural events. I work with people of all ages; grandparents, parents, teens, and children. I enjoy working as a team with my excellent colleagues. We are all passionate about using the best practices to promote lifelong learning. I also collaborate with public schools to increase students', parents', and teachers' knowledge about our services to meet their academic and personal information needs. I use a variety of technological tools, from the MS Office suite, to social media, to databases, to our online circulation system in my work. I am not afraid of technology. Show less



Self Employed English as a Second Language Tutor

• Florence, KY

• Owner

  • Jan 2001 - Dec 2015

  Similar to giving Piano Lessons from my home, I provided private tutoring in English as a Second Language to predominantly Japanese women and children. I never had a need to advertise because word of mouth kept me busy. I have a background in education and I used those skills and the Interchange Curriculum to provide practice in the English language and help with practical day to day needs of my students.
