CYNTHIA O'KELLEY

About me:

I am a Business Development Manager for a European Tour Company called  INSIGHT VACATIONS where I train travel agents on Destinations as well as  conduct product training to new employees.  I have worked there for 17 years and am now part-time.  I have had the opportunity to travel a bit and now find myself looking for more routine and involvement in the school system.  I started  as a  Substitute Teacher in St. Charles School District 303 two years ago and work  primarily in the computer learning area at the elementary and middle school level.  

I love working with the students there and is why I am pursuing CTER! 

 I graduated with a BFA from U of Il Champaign  in Art Education and continue to illustrate and do cartooning and continue to teach art  in and out of the classroom.  I love the outdoors and nature and spend alot of vacation time in Northern Wisconsin.

I am married to Mike and Mom to my 12 year old son, Keane.
