High School Sales
Resume:
Hello! I am a former Special ED Teacher, where I taught 15 years in the Texas Public School System (with students who had Severe Emotional Problems). For the last 9 years, I've been working as a Psychotherapist.
I have recently moved to Dallas, to work as a volunteer with the homeless in Downtown Dallas. I am playing my guitar, as is necessary, to earn a living. However, since I am already committed to the Dallas area, I am now interviewing with certain Dallas organizations, seeing if one of them is a good fit regarding my therapeutic/other skills and background. I will be glad to set up an interview with you ASAP.
