under Graduate Teaching Assistant title.

Graduate Teaching Assistant, Writing Center August 2007-May 2008
I was extremely proud to be awarded at GTA position from the English Department. My role as a Writing Center consultant has
brought me into contact with writers at all levels: from novices to professionals. I have worked extensively with ESL/International
students. Additionally, I have worked as part of a great team of other consultants, student directors, staff, and faculty.

This was an extremely varied position, working as a personal assistant to a married couple from a prominent Louisville family.
Maintaining and coordinating household activities, bills, projects, and even emergencies for three residences; working closely with
other staff to maintain smooth lifestyle and activities; scheduling; etc. The work was extremely varied and often challenging, but
never dull.

Assistant Education Director with Kentucky Shakespeare Festival February 2003-August 2005
In this role I wore many hats. During the summer I ran Shakespeare Youth Academy (SYA) which expanded during my tenure from
a one-program, 4 campsite event to a four-program, 8 campsite event. I administrated all aspects of the Camp Shakespeare and
Peer Mentoring programs, which made up 7 of the 8 sites for SYA. I managed a staff of up to 20 managers, instructors and interns
and was responsible for all administration which included creation (in conjunction with the Design Director) and distribution of all
marketing materials, advertising, being the public face of the program, all paperwork, supply order and flow, putting out fires and
the many day-to-day aspects that make up running a program.

During the school year I was part of the sales team for our Shakespeare Alive! educational outreach tour. I worked directly with
schools (primarily on the phones and email) to schedule our tour teams into every county of the state as well as several
neighboring states. I was the top booker for the 2003-04 school year.

Additionally, I was given the opportunity during the FY 2004 to create and implement two events: All the World’s a Stogie and
Shakespeare’s Court. I still run the Shakespeare’s Court event, which takes place the same weekend as St. James Court Art
Show. We offer 16 vendor spaces for artists, a wellness garden, live acoustic music, an outdoor café, and other service options.

Volunteer Coordinator with the Alzheimer’s Association August 2002-February 2003
My role with the Alzheimer’s Association was predominantly to organize volunteers for their Adult Day Center. This also included
recruiting, training, scheduling, interpersonal problem solving, and appreciation of the volunteers.

Account Sales Representative with Ketchum Directory Advertising August 2000-August 2002
I started off running the east coast section of the Kinko’s account and eventually expanded to running the entire east and west
coasts. It was very challenging and a lot of work, but also enjoyable.

Teachers Assistant with Kenwood Montessori School 1999-2000
Aspects of this job included working with teachers and other assistants to generate new activities, maintaining the classroom, and
working with children and their families to embody Montessori methods.

Production Coordinator with K.D. Stearley Publications 1999
This position involved working on map production, maintaining communication with advertisers and sponsors of publications, and
assisting the husband and wife team who owned the company in various ways.

Group Sales Manager with the Louisville Ballet 1998
This was a sales job that included maintaining and exceeding income goals, working with the PR and Marketing Director on public
campaigns, and communicating with corporate, school, and other groups about Ballet group opportunities.

Program Director with Cedar Ridge Camp 1996-1998
While with Cedar Ridge I moved up the ‘ladder’ of opportunities: I began as a programmer, working on an as-needed basis very
part time. Then I was hired full time temporary as the Summer Adventure Camp Coordinator in 1997. Immediately after the
summer season I was approached about the Program Director position and became full time permanent.

As the Program Director, I was responsible for creating new programming, the upkeep of existing programming, recruiting, training
and supervising the programmers and school-year staff and the development and creation of policies and procedures manuals for
all programming offered. Additionally, I took on the responsibility of designing marketing materials (which were previously non-
existent), creating mailings and growing the program. I also created several events during this time: trainings, networking,
corporate ‘get to know us’ opportunities…all as part of the growth of the program but also to share the concept that Cedar Ridge
wasn’t just for kids, which was very big with the Executive Director at that time.

Other Good Things To Know:
I participate as a vendor (and often organizer) in both juried and non-juried arts & crafts shows. I also own a booth at Kentucky
Highland Renaissance Faire.
I am also a Revolutionary War re-enactor and sutler (which means I have a shop where I sell goods and demonstrate historically
accurate activities).
I live in a rural area and have many, many animals. I believe in ‘doing what you CAN do’ in your community, which refers not just to
my little county but also the human community.
I’m quite computer literate, primarily with Microsoft products, and type something beyond 50wpm although I haven’t been clocked
lately.
I have an active sense of humor, great organizational skills love to think creatively and communicate well. I bring dedication and a
strong work ethic to any position I take on.

I am currently offering my services doing freelance
proofreading, editing, and research assisting. Please
