Tour Services Group / Tarzan Zerbini Circus
Customer Support
I have the very unique opportunity to work as a customer service representative for the producers of a circus. Occasionally, I even get to travel with the circus and meet some incredibly interesting people!
Interests: Some of my personal interests include travel, photography, and history. I'm an avid reader and have an interest in many subjects, including world and cultural events.
By traveling to other countries, having my parents host foreign exchange students, and working with individuals around the world, I feel I have a diverse and unique perspective many others in my area do not. I also have an uncle who has worked for the United Nations, lives in the Ukraine, and has a family in that country.
I enjoy photography and have been won several awards in various contests over the last few years. I primarily do landscape, architectural, and animal photography, but occasionally dabble in portrait photography.
I consider myself to funny and lighthearted but also direct and honest. I'm a natural klutz, so I'm often dropping things, tripping, or falling. This is a source of great amusement to my family!
Many people say I'm a good storyteller and writer, and I've become well known in the area for the real-life conversations and stories I post on social media. Many of these conversations and stories centered on my late grandmother, who was one of the funniest women alive. We would have hilarious conversations, and I began sharing them as a way to stay in touch with family. Eventually, this branched out so much that friends and neighbors became acquainted with the crazy life I experienced with my grandmother. I'm incredibly thankful I shared those memories on social media because now that she has passed, I get to enjoy and share those precious times whenever I wish. Currently, I enjoy sharing some of the things that happen in our classroom. My students are some of the funniest kids on the planet and the things they say and do are too good not to share with others. I never identify the students, but sometimes they like knowing that I've written about them. Another popular topic upon which to write is family life. We live on a farm and my husband owns a tractor repair business on our property. We have all kinds of adventures both personally and with our customers that I like to share. I've found that it's much better to laugh about some of the things that happen to us than to cry about them.
My vast interests and personality make me a good fit to teach people of all backgrounds and skill levels, and I look forward to benefiting from new people and learning about other countries and languages.
