      Aug 1997 - Jun 2003

      I helped to organize the Metro Detroit American Heart Walk (2000, 2001 events) and I also worked in Ann Arbor, managing their volunteer board and planning and implementing the Ann Arbor Heart Walk and the Ann Arbor AHA Gala events. The 2000 Metro Detroit Heart Walk was the first event in the country to raise over $1 million. I worked with all of the schools in the Oakland Co. and Western Macomb Co. areas to successfully implement Jump Rope for Heart and Hoops for Heart. I was named Youth Market Director of the year for the Midwest Affiliate in 1999.

      Sept 2017 - Jun 2022

      I taught Language Arts classes for 60 fourth graders. I introduced the students to classic literature like Robin Hood and Arabian Nights. I coordinated my lesson plans to coordinate with the Social Studies teacher and taught, "I Survived the American Revolution" during his unit on the Revolutionary War. I also developed a month long poetry unit and did many project based learning writing assignments with the class, as well as teaching them how to write a personal narrative. The culmination of our year together was the Bottle Biography project where the students chose a historical figure and researched his or her life. They presented a multi-media presentation for parents which involved writing a formal research report, a Google Slides presentation, and an artistic rendering of the person using a soda bottle.
