My Expert Service

I am a leader who works well with others. I have a positive, proactive, and constructive attitude in all tasks. I take criticism well and find joy in even the most mundane endeavors. These qualities, I believe, make for a more pleasant and productive work environment. I possess many valuable talents. Speaking conversational French and German, American Sign Language, and Signing Exact English are among them. I am teaching myself Braille, currently. I have the ability to understand and utilize assistive technology, such as Open Book and Zoom Text. I have developed excellent computer skills. I am proficient in the use of Word, Excel, and Publisher. I am adept in the utilization of Yahoo! Messenger, and Internet Explorer. I am a superior writer: including; spelling, grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, editing, and proofreading skills. I also took a class to learn how to write business proposals and presentations. In fact, I earned a perfect score of 300 on the writing portion of the Oklahoma General Education Test (the OGET), which is the first in a series of examinations required to become a certified teacher in the state.
