Whooter:
Great find, Guys. What a fantastic exposure for kids at risk. She really sounds like and independent self starter and great role model for those children.
...
Ursus:
Outside of the fact that her years at her various educational venues don't entirely jive between the two resumés (probably typos), I found the following choice of words rather interesting re. her employment at Joshua's Café in Woodstock, color emphasis added:
"...hired, scheduled and disciplined bartenders and wait staff..."[/list]
Ursus:
Here are two confirmations of (probably already known) facts that also came out of that resumé:
* A Bachelor of Arts degree (received but months before, if that) is sufficient qualification to be a Department Chair, instructor, and Peer group teacher/advisor at the Academy at Swift River.
* The Academy at Swift River was not accredited during the time period of August 2001-August 2003.
