I am looking to live and work abroad. I am in search of a new career for the rest of my working years. I have traveled to Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Korea, Mexico, France and Spain and enjoyed my travels immensely. Now I want to continue my travels while living and working in foreign countries, meeting new people, and learning their culture. I was born and raised in the United States. I have a college education with a Bachelors of Science degree in Computer Science and my primary language is English. My professional occupation was in Industrial Engineering. My attention to detail as an architectural and structural 3D-CAD designer is extremely high. I will bring with me this level of attention and the highest quality of work and effort to my new role. I am a very patient and determined person. I try to excel in everything I do. Perseverance is my favorite word, and I use it every day. Not in speech but in action. I do not quit a task… ever. I persevere through when the job gets tough. I bring this mind set with me to my new profession. I have participated as an English Instructor in many summer and winter camps as well as a contracted Foreign English Teacher. All of my camps and teaching jobs have been amazing experiences and I have made a lot of new friends through teaching. The work has been rewarding and my time well spent helping others sharpen their English skills. I am well suited for foreign living. I am not married and have no children or pets to hold me back. I want to continue to live and work abroad and share in the community. I feel I will be an asset to any school that I may be a part of. I am extremely excited about the continued opportunities that lie ahead for me. International employment allows me to discover new and interesting work and cultural experiences that are rewarding. In return, my employers receive a dedicated and passionate teacher and mentor to guide their students for improved English training.
