SUMMARY/OBJECTIVE
I am an exuberant, highly skilled science teacher, seeking a new career challenge in the pharmaceutical industry.
As an instructor I have attended many professional development seminars and conferences to augment my skills and knowledge level. With more than 7,000 hours of teaching grades 6 through 8, I have employed a broad range of instructional techniques to retain student interest and maximize individual learning. I hold ESOL and ESE endorsement from the Palm Beach County School district. I am a certified Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Technician, with CPR and AED endorsement. My unique experience and a BS Degree make me an outstanding candidate for such a position.
I have a degree in Health Sciences, Exercise Science, and Kinesiology/Nutrition, along with a Florida Department of Education degree that I would like to put to good use. I seek a position where I can educate and assist people with their healthcare options. My background in Hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, as well as HIV education, will be an added benefit. My extensive work with diverse populations puts me in an excellent position to connect with people from all backgrounds and professions. I have travelled extensively throughout the world and hold a valid US passport.
