Hi, my name is Nancy Mokay. Currently I am working as a Business Technology Instructor at the Oneonta Job Corps Academy in lovely upstate New York. As an Instructor, I feel that I can make a positive contribution to the students' education by establishing a creative and stimulating classroom environment and a strong dedication to the total development of the student and present a role model for ethical and professional standards and craftsmanship.

I have had 15 years of supervising and working with multicultural adolescents from diverse backgrounds which has given me the ability to provide students with a clear understanding of the specific objective towards which they are working and help to set realistic goals to guide their progress in achieving interim and terminal objectives.

I have always had a fascination with Business Technology and the desire to teach, thus majoring in Business Education at the State University at Oneonta.

The most exciting part of my job is the ability to keep current with the latest development in software and hardware. Then the ability to teach my students the software and office skills they need to gain employment and continue to be employed years from now with great emphasis put on software integration and the ability to produce outstanding PowerPoint presentations.

I have been fortunate and have not experienced any unethical or discriminatory action in the workplace. I have worked at different companies, some treat their employees better than others, and I am grateful that I have been able to work with some nice people over the years.

I believe that taking some risks and challenging myself allows for great opportunities and rewards. It's amazing what you can really do if you push yourself a little bit more each time.
