My major is in International Affairs, and Nicaraguan teaching certification is given by the Ministry of Education. I have 15-plus years of teaching experience, combined with a strong work ethic and interpersonal skills. My lessons utilize any and all technology that is available, giving my students an education in common technological uses including professional writing and presentations, internet research, web design, and proper communication. Students are also encouraged to use and create podcasts, web quests, and other similar activities as part of their authentic learning experience, which engages them in the subject matter and teaches valuable real-world skills.
