Emergency 30-Day Substitute Teaching Permit, #101089331, 4/1/2010-4/1/2011; valid permit from 4/1999-4/2011.
I currently work for the Corning Union Elementary School District in Corning, California. I work three days each week, Tuesday - Thursday, as the Technology and Media Services Supervisor and Grants Coordinator for the Corning Union Elementary School District, and have been employed in this position since 1999. I manage five school libraries, act as the webmaster for the district, advise on educational technology, and write and manage grants. As an employee for this school district I have kept all required immunizations, CPR, and other certifications up-to-date.
I have considerable
experience in
grant writing for school districts and other organizations. I have
also managed numerous grants.
I enjoy helping children learn, helping
them become aware and responsible persons,
helping them make their time at school into a positive experience, and helping them
accomplish the daily objectives set by their teachers.

I was a leader in the introduction of new audio-visual media, library automation, and management information systems for one of the largest library systems in the United States. For fourteen years, I was the Regional Administrator for 17 very busy libraries in the East San Gabriel Valley.
I have taught yoga, tai chi chuan, qigong, pilates, and spin cycling at the Tehama Family Fitness Center in Red Bluff since 2004.
I have completed many additional courses in education, business administration, philosophy, computer software, counseling, yoga, staff training, Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong, and supervision.
I am a good public speaker, an outgoing leader, a cheerful and friendly person, and present a energetic and professional appearance.
I was elected to serve as a Trustee on the Gerber Elementary School District Board in Red Bluff, California, and served on that School Board for four years (2000-2004).
I worked as the Certificated Library Media Teacher, District Librarian, for the Corning Union Elementary School District (K-8), 1999-2003, .6 FTE.
