Current Position

Since July of 2010 I have been working for Lawn's Made Green Inc.

doing commercial and residential landscaping and lawn maintenance,

including daily customer service on a scheduled client route.

I have recently completed writing a novel, which is currently on submission

to an agency for consideration for representation.

Previous Experience

In December of 2007 I began working at the Lowe's RDC in Rockford

Illinois, as a Team Member in the Shipping Dept. I loaded and unloaded

trailers using fork and squeeze lifts, audited shipping lanes and picked

and put away product. I read invoices and verified incoming freight.

In 2005 I returned to the United States from Japan. I took the

Illinois Real Estate Licensing Course, passed and was licensed as a

Realtor. I have worked as a Realtor from May of 2006 until the present, but

am currently not active in this field due to the recent poor market

conditions. As a Realtor I am entrusted with my client's private personal

and financial information. I am held to strict confidentiality.

From 1990 through 2005 I taught English to all levels of Japanese

students in Japan, in classes ranging in size from one student to over

forty. I taught high school, junior college, and tutored elementary and

junior high students. I planned classes, wrote curriculum, created and

administered oral and written examinations, and taught conversation courses

to adults at the Mitsubishi Motor Company, Nissan Motor Company, Fuji

Xerox, Fuji Photo Film and other companies. At these companies my clients

were in the main engineers, and the occasional manager, designer or sales

person.

I have done extensive rewriting and proofreading of English translations of

Japanese scientific and medical papers, specifically dealing with kidney

function, stress and ulcer relationships, immunology, and immune system

breakdown. I also proofread engineering documents and worked with engineers

who planned to give presentations in English.

. From 1984 to 1986 I worked in Guatemala, Central America, as a Peace

Corps Volunteer. I planned and executed numerous projects in livestock

health and production. I taught modern agricultural methods to local

farmers. This included both classroom work and "hands-on" teaching in the

field. Livestock health was the major focus of my work. This included

teaching how to identify and treat various diseases, as well as proper care

of the animals. I administered vaccinations and calculated drug dosages to

treat ill livestock. I also worked with the Guatemalan Ministry of

Agriculture in a program to introduce superior livestock breeds to my area.

My responsibilities included identifying interested individuals and

evaluating them as to their depth of ability and willingness to adhere to

good management practices. I was also responsible for all follow-up work,

evaluation of the project, the continuing education of the participants,

and maintenance of regular veterinary care for the new breeds.

I speak, read and write Spanish well, and speak Japanese well.
