Hello,

I’m Michele Ryan, as a business owner and instructor for over twenty eight years, and in my field for over thirty

years I bring to you a wide range of experience, passion, and entrepreneurial leadership. I am responsible for

instructing hundreds of children, adults and animals. Overseeing all administrative duties, and organizing events

for many fundraising and corporate events. I have also judged for national dance competitions, state pageants

and canine competitions.

I have been the recipient of numerous prestigious awards for my personal accomplishments. Examples of awards

and certifications are included in the resume that follows. I firmly believe that continuing education is the key to

growth and competency as an individual, educator and business person.

My ideal career is one in where I can show my leadership qualities. Instructional, organization skills, and

managing, meeting deadlines and keeping customers satisfied. Using my problem solving, social and coping

skills. And most important, treating each customer with a caring and positive attitude.

Thank you,

Michele L Ryan
