Skills & Interests

The reason I firmly believe I am an excellent candidate for this job is because of of the long experience I have gained, as a Canadian and American who had lived and worked in various countries.

As a Technology Resource Teacher (TRT) and previous French as a Second Language Teacher, I am known for being strongly skilled with technology. In fact, back in 2005, once of the reasons I was hired as a TRT was because I would integrate technology into my curriculum on a daily basis. For that reason, I have gained a great experience as a TRT, working with teachers and teaching them how they can integrate technology into their curriculum and how they can find useful resources.

I am looking forward in being part of your 2009 summer school project and share my expertise.
