Miscellaneous
In addition to the above work experience, I also worked with the Family Business Center at USF for several years. I performed the statistical analyses and wrote the report for the Fort Wayne City Survey in years past. I am Certified Quality Engineer and am retained by various companies on a contract basis to conduct training, design and perform statistical experiments, conduct audits, and implement process controls and improvements. I tutor all ages in math and science. Teaching is one of the most rewarding endeavors I have ever undertaken. I truly enjoy the students and the unique challenge each one brings to the classroom. Nothing can quite match the satisfaction I get from watching the students grow and learn. The “A-HA” moments - the times when a student finally grasps and fully understands a difficult concept - are the best. The look of pride on their faces is priceless, and this is what keeps me motivated.
