My name is Matt.
I am seeking certification in biology.
While I don't have much in-class teaching experience, some general professional experiences I've had are working with young children at the New Britain YMCA in after school programs. These programs focused on helping students with their homework and after school activities while providing a supportive environment. I've also had the opportunity to work with daycare centers in the New Britain community which focused on helping young students to read and write before and after school. Other non-related work experiences are working at a water-park for four years. While this may seem unrelated, there is a great deal of instruction and learning that goes into a job such as this. I spent most days teaching people how to climb up 60' rock walls which, as you could imagine, is extremely challenging. However, it was an equally rewarding job to teach a person how to climb and watch them achieve something they never thought possible.
My experience with technology is limited, as indicated by my lack of having a Facebook account. I have general knowledge about most programs in Microsoft, including word, excel, and powerpoint. While I don't have a broad knowledge of technology, I am able to teach myself how to use most programs in order to get by.
My hobbies include playing sports, going to new places, fishing, hiking, or anything that involves being active.
