Kathryn Kolencik, Neighbor

I am an active resident of Paulding County, Georgia.  As a parisioner at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church I am involved in the Religious Education department as well as the Women's Altar and Rosary Guild.

Professionally, I have a dozen years of experience as a software engineer in the field of telecommunications.  I then transitioned to twelve years as an educator, teaching Math for fifth through twelfth grade as well as in an adjuct college role.  I provide tutoring services online as well as face-to-face to learners at many levels.

Currently I am a Community Coordinator for PAX Academic Exchange, a non-profit foundation that places foreign exchange students in American families.  Recognized by the Counsel on Standards for International Educational Travel and in full compliance and active status with the U.S. State Department, PAX has been managing foreign student exchange for over twenty years.  (http://pax.org/)

In addition, I am a graduate student at The University of Georgia, studying Instructional Design and Delivery.  My professional goal is to build upon my experience as an engineer and as an educator as I pursue a career as in Instructional Design.
