Cragmor Christian Reformed Church. Office Administrator

​2005 - present

 

As the office administrator of a small church staff, much (but not all) of my work is behind the scenes.  I prepare bulletins and accompanying inserts as well as the PowerPoint presentations for Sunday worship services. I process payroll, enter and assemble financial data, and submit various quarterly and annual filings.  I'm the receptionist, greeter, facilities use coordinator, form creator, directory manager, purchaser, bill payer, and on-site troubleshooter. 

 

Colorado Spring Christian Middle School. Teacher and Aide

​1996 - 2004

 

I began as a part-time math aide at CSCMS and soon added study hall monitor and band aide to my duties.  I taught Honors English 7 and Pre-Algebra 7/8 as well as computer classes (keyboarding and rudimentary programming) for 6th - 8th graders. I substituted in many of the classrooms and also facilitated the implementation of the Reading Counts! program and classroom book orders for the school. I organized the league Knowledge Bowl meets at CSCS for several years.   

I coordinated the standardized testing program, enhancing security and scheduling procedures, and was responsible for receipt and shipment of test materials, answer sheets and results.  I created a bank of year-end grammar and writing assessments for the English department and assisted with data entry and accreditation documentation.

 

German instructor for elementary students​

 

Parent groups hired me to teach extra-curricular language classes; I taught German at elementary schools in Ames, Iowa, and Edmonds, Washington (three years at each school).
