Tracey Carter
As a professional educator for three years, I focused on improving students' critical thinking skills and creating independent learners who enjoy discovering new things and exercising intellectual curiosity. My personal specialties are writing instruction, standardized test prep, adolescent literature, mathematical problem solving, and personal development coaching.
In addition to my three years as a professional educator, I have also worked as a communications specialist and a library page. I am currently an Administrative Assistant with Guardian Disability Insurance Brokerage.
I hold a BA in English and have completed 10 credits towards a Masters in the Humanities. Outside of education I enjoy yoga, video games, logic and crossword puzzles, reading and organic foods.
