Communication is not just as a skill, but a bridge - one that helps connect people to information, opportunity, and each other. I use this value to guide me in working with others. I've always loved learning. This curiosity drives me to support others in their own growth. I've volunteered with Bridge2Success (B2S), a weekend-based school-year program. My role was not just about tutoring; it was about helping students feel seen and supported. I'd describe my personality as approachable and warm, talkative, confident and open-minded I'm looking for a job that will allow me to tutor afterschool hours, and on weekends. I started tutoring informally 20 years ago. I love practicing my photography skills and working in the darkroom developing film. I have 6 grown children and 7 grandchildren (age from 6mo. to 15), whom I'm extremely close to, and believe we built respect and trust by listening to one another. My skills include essay writing; math; and reading.
Sharon was a mentor for two years in Educational Services, a Portland-based program that provides pathways to post-secondary opportunities for high school students of color. The program introduces career options and assists in navigating the higher education financial aid and scholarship process. As Mentor Coordinator, I saw Sharon fully embrace the Educational Services mission: to ensure that all students are supported through transition out of high school by providing clearer direction, lifelong tools, and enrichment for all students regardless of the selected path. In my experience, through the lens of Educational Services, Sharon was committed and dedicated, engaged and enthusiastic, easy going yet focused. She brought her full self to the task at hand and will do the same whatever and wherever is her calling at Care.com
