PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

secure agreements on the cost of the repairs with various constituents, as well as system administration

documentation and maintenance. Follow college/board guidelines and state regulations. Coordinated,

maintained and repaired campus facilities, and equipment.

Participated in Rotary Career Day for the collision repair occupation. I planned the hour of instruction

for three different sessions. The students performed a visual eye test to identify the students who

would do well as a collision repair painter. During the hour I also covered many different aspects that

I thought would excite them about other related fields. Personally overseen the safety and direction of classroom schedule to keep students safe while

they attended classes during a major construction project. Had to work closely with the State Fire Marshall’s office and Fayetteville city administrators, normally they would have closed the building during such a project but felt that I could maintain a safe environment for students.

Worked one-on-one with SGA and PTK officers to meet the demands of their position, such as their campaign to start a recycling project. Work with all students to help them succeed.

Helped a particular non-traditional veteran student build and paint a scaled model of Tokyo city in the 50’s for a school project. The student was having difficulty finishing the project by the deadline. I showed him a different technique of painting his model and then left him to finish his project on time.

Helped a student figure out what the objectives should be for a new charter they were writing regarding the recycling project.

Have had to dismantle difficult situations involving students for the best possible outcome.

Trained a number of faculty on use of smart classroom technology. IT experience-routing communication cables and installation of smart stations, projectors, document

camera, and computer audio visual equipment
