I am a great candidate for your job. My experience in teaching our youth in the bluegrass state made me aware of one thing, our students have a challenging and exciting path ahead of them. We need good data to advise our youth on their educational needs. Each place I have worked, I have been able to get results for my clients because of data analysis and my skills in that. I am skilled at giving consultations. For 20 years in a clinical setting that was my main responsibility. My years in academics have given me valuable insight into science and the sciences.
