Background

About Stephen Damato

I am dedicated professor of English Composition and Literature, who specializes in teaching expository and argumentative essays, language arts, literary immersion and analysis, as well as journaling and creative writing. I have extensive experience at the college, high school, and middle school levels. As an educator, I wish to extend my experience to helping others in recovery. I'm actively seeking opportunities in teaching, clerical, or administrative positions at universities and companies. I'm also actively seeking employment in recovery work as a mentor, coach, technician, or support staff at treatment and rehabilitation centers or hospitals. Employment in the Greater New York City Area and the Greater Detroit,MI Area is ideal for me. My academic and professional experience, coupled with my proactive work ethic, make me an ideal candidate. Additionally, I display the following traits and skill in the workplace: • Communicate and collaborate with others with a team- and goal-oriented mentality • Adapt to new and complex situations as an inventive, on-the-spot problem solver • Skilled organizer and keeper of records, materials, and other data • Demonstrate expertise in developing objectives, preparing agendas, outlining benchmarks, and meeting deadlines • Proficient in multitasking and working independently under pressure • Exhibit a pronounced verbal and written command of the English language • Knowledgable in recovery and 12-step programs focusing on alcohol and substance abuse
