What languages do you speak (and at what level)? I am fluent in english. What country or area are you looking to work in and why? I want to work in Kiev, Ukraine. Kiev has so much to live for. There is history and art at every turn. The culture has a twist and a turn that keeps you awake and aware. From the river, to the city bang, to the cathedral, to the museum and a walk a small streets, there is enchantment everywhere. What countries have you worked in? I have not worked in other countries although I have spent years much time the past nine years in Montreal,Quebec. What countries do you have a visa to work in?

I am certified in special education for social studies(p-8) Which do you consider more valuable? Formal education or skills and why? I think the answer is both. Formal education adds breath and depth and width to any skill a person has. It is simply about being well rounded and centered with enlightened skills. Describe the benefits of working with others The feeling of togetherness is a rush to the soul. When trust is made, responsibility is taken, kindness is expressed, concern is clear, and when everyone is included for who they are, that is the rush of working with others. Describe the benefits of working alone The feeling of self reliance has a peacefullness. It is all up to me. Noone is waiting on me, movement or space is provided, I can focus on what I desire too, I can do what I want without asking questions about boundaries or other preferences, there is a self reliant artisticness about it.
