I would like to reenter my teaching career where my work and experience are an asset to any school.   I have excellent communication skills, can motivate others to achieve a common goal and can teach special students to reach and achieve their full potential.

                                                Work Experience:

Customer Service Representative
Startek - Jonesboro, AR
September 2008 to June 2009
I was a customer service representative for AT&T cell phone industry. I assisted customers in understanding their bills, troubleshooting their phones, adding and deleting packages from their phone and in purchasing new phones.

Special Education Teacher
Westside Middle School - Jonesboro, AR
August 2007 to May 2008
I taught self-contained special education students in the middle school. I implemented the IEPs (Individual Educational Plans) that I created for each student. I also supervised one aide who assisted the students in reaching their goals and objectives as outlined by their IEP. I helped to organize Special Olympics and participated in the various activities associated with it.  I also completed portfolios for five of my students as outlined by "No Child Left Behind".

Special Education Teacher
Bee Cave Elementary School - Austin, TX
