Assistant Director
Kept instructors supplied with whatever they need to best teach their classes. I worked with children ages 7-17 to make sure everyone was having a fun and educational time at camp.  Managed instructors by helping them to consistently improve their teaching and provide quality instruction. I interacted with students and parents alike to make sure everyone was satisfied with our services. I also troubleshoot technical and hardware glitches that arose on a day-to-day basis with our computers and software.

Curriculum Developer
Updated and refined the iD Tech web site curriculum used as a teaching tool by instructors and students.  With the curriculum I worked on already fairly established, I “face-lifted” the existing teaching guide.  This provided updates to make the pages more presentable, easier to navigate, and ordered in a way that promoted ease of teaching and optimal learning.  As part of this, I created and implemented several completely new lessons.
