About Me
Introduction:
I am a motivated teacher looking for new opportunities to inspire students. I have a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Georgia Honors Program. I also have a Juris Doctor from the University of Georgia School of Law. I have extensive experience as a tutor in local elementary schools. As an Assistant District Attorney, I oversaw all child victim cases for a three county area. I educated school groups on the legal process and courtroom procedures as well as working with individual children in witness preparation and courtroom familiarity. I believe my education and broad experience with both children and education makes me a perfect candidate for a teaching position.
