Experience
As an undergraduate I was a tutor with the Literacy Volunteers of America, where I taught basic language and reading skills to adults with both special needs and who were learning English as a second language. As a graduate I was a tutor for native-Chinese speakers in English as a second language, and an essay marker for essays and dissertations. I have been educated in both French and German. I lived for most of my life on the New York- Quebec border and learned a good deal of French as a child and throughout school. I have been a frequent visitor to Quebec and to France. As an undergraduate I chose to concentrate in German and picked it up as a minor, where I became well versed in German vocabulary, grammar, and literature in general. I consider myself very well versed in History, Anthropology (Social Studies), and Archaeology, the three of which I have spent the majority of my university career studying. I have participated in two archaeological excavations, and have extensive experience in the conservation and restoration of historical objects. As a graduate student I particpated in three courses relating to education within museums. I believe that these courses have given me a greater understanding of how children and adults learn as a whole. The most important thing I learned was that every individual learns differently, be it visually, audibly, sensory, etc. I want to be a tutor because I believe it to be a rewarding experience. I believe that my time abroad for my graduate degree, and my experiences in archaeology and museums have afforded me a unique outlook on education that would be beneficial to many an individual looking to learn a variety of subjects.

Hobbies
I consider myself to be a very relaxed and happy individual. I enjoy volunteering at museums, reading, and watching comedies on television. I am also an avid viewer of programs on the History, Discovery, and National Geographic Channels. I love travelling, and am always looking for the newest, most interesting places to go. I love working with children, and because of this I would consider my dream career to be working for education in museums.
