I am a talented Spanish Rassias-method trained teacher. It's a "rinse and repeat" type of method pioneered by Dartmouth College. Recently, I taught Spanish part time for 5 years at the University of Utah in the adult Lifelong Learning program. I was also a high school language substitute teacher in Salt Lake City for a short time. During my marketing career of over 20 years, I spent over a decade in high tech in the California Bay Area where my vocabulary and fluency exploded. I have volunteered for non-profit organizations helping Spanish-speaking clients. Spanish is my second language; my accent is undetectable and my Spanish excellent. I learned Spanish at a young age having lived in Bolivia and Brazil until I was 8.

Approved Subjects

Marketing

Marketing

Traditionally, marketing is about the 4 P's: product, price, packaging, and place (distribution). Some people add a 5th P: people. I have spent the past 20 years working for high tech companies with a career in marketing, not product marketing or marketing communications, but marketing programs, lead generation, and field marketing, that is concentrated in place and people. My forte is in creating marketing programs and generating leads for inside sales through channel activities to accelerate sales. Lead generation activities could include an appointment setting campaign, a lunch and learn seminar series, programs that drive demand for a product or technology. The goal in field marketing is to support a business partner to become independent, self-sufficient, and has the tools available needed to engage with a prospective customer.
Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook

I have used Microsoft Outlook for more than 10 years. I use it at work, and I use it at home. I use contacts, calendar, and tasks to manage my life, and the calendars sync to my phone. Scheduling a meeting, using scheduling assistant and tracking are critical tools in a small or large company and many people I find don't use these basic tools. Also, using a Webex outlook plug in or another conference tool plug in is a critical productivity tool.
Sewing

Sewing

I can sew. I can layout material to cut out, read a pattern, and get through all of the steps to finish a garment. I can also sew by site or construction. I have made about a dozen kids' Halloween costumes. I also knit.
Spanish

Spanish

I learned Spanish as a second language having grown up in Bolivia and Brazil, then moved to NH at the age of 8. I have continued studying Spanish, worked in marketing for a high tech company supporting the Latin America region so I learned a lot of business vocabulary. My strength is in my pronunciation - Latin friends can't tell where my accent is from and it's definitely not that of an American / English accent. I have strong basic and intermediate Spanish grammar and believe in communicating, somehow, then correcting the grammar as it comes. Let me know if you want to give it a try.
Tennis

Tennis

I am newly certified to coach tennis to 11-17 year old youths, adults, and wheelchair athletes. 4.0 player.
