Social Media Tinkerer
- Always Playing With Something
Social media has been an interest to me as soon as I heard the phrase. Having remembered chart rooms on dialup modems in AOL software that came in the mail, I’m amazed even today how far things have progressed. As you may have noticed, I like to consider myself a social media tinkerer. To my friends, I may be more of an expert, but that is somewhat subjective. I just have more experience and actively hunt down more things to play with on my phone and iPad.
The three biggest services I use regularly are Facebook, Foursquare, and Twitter. I have also played with Gowalla (Before they got bought by Facebook), Whrrl (Before it shut down), Shopkick, WeReward, and other new social media startups. I usually find these startups in the various tech news websites I read from everyday, such as Mashable or Techcrunch. I have a lot of experience using Yelp, Google Places, and finding other areas to post information about coming events.
I am a big fan of collaboration and use Google Docs extensively throughout my day to keep things organized with other people. The phrase “Two heads are better than one” is one that I believe to be very true. (So is, “Too many cooks in the kitchen.”) I am always on the lookout for new ways to keep things organized not only in my life, but also in The N Crowd.
If you would like to incorporate social media into your website or business, contact me. I can take my years of experience and use it to increase your presence in this area. Together we can create a strategy for you and your business.

Educator
- Teaching some days, learning everydayAs an educator, I have worked as a Substitute Teacher in a wide range of classroom settings in the Pottstown area in the last six years. I have taught between three school districts in rooms ranging from Kindergarten to 8th grade. I have instructed in many capacities including Art, Gym, Computers, Health, Music, Library, and Special Education. My bachelor's degree,background knowledge, and experiences have been more than enough to prepare me to implement the lesson plans left by the absent teacher.
My teaching style is generally relaxed. I like to treat students as if they were five years older than their actual age, with great success in this manner. While not every student is pleased to see me, they do know that I treat them fairly, firmly, and consistently. Any student who has had me more then once knows that I expect them to complete their assignments to the best of their ability. They also know that I will do everything within my power to help them understand a concept, solve a problem, or prevent them from being bullied.During my studies to become a Master of Classroom Technology, I created a page on Wikispaces. I wanted to showcase Wikispace as a powerful tool in the classroom as well as other technology I felt could be used in the classroom. Most of these online tools could also be used in other settings outside of education.
