I am a former teacher with 27 years of experience. As an undergraduate, I majored in mathematics with a minor in English. This gives me a combination of skills and experiences that should be useful in any job that includes technology and communication.. I have a proven ability to explain highly technical information to less than technical people. My computer experience goes all the way from the IBM1620 in the 1960s to familiarity with current personal computers and their standard applications: MS Works, MS Publisher, Word, Front Page, and Power Point.
