I am a School of Education graduate from Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri, interest in pursuing a career in Calgary, Alberta. I attended Maryville University for 3.5 years and managed to graduate a semester early with a 3.79 GPA granting Magna Cum Laude honors. I was named on the Dean’s List each semester I attended the University. I completed a range of social studies coursework in addition to years of education-focused courses. I had the opportunity to complete 9 credit hours toward my degree in London, England.
At Maryville University, Education majors are assigned practicum placements to observe and teach first-semester sophomore year. I have taught at Lindbergh High School, Hazelwood West High School, and Holt High School. I have also spent time in all levels of schools in London, England, and substitute taught at St. Dominic High School. That being said, I have several years of classroom experience under my belt. I enjoy working with children of all ages and guiding them in their path to a successful future. Jobs that include working with children are always a great fit for me.
I have also worked in a range of other positions and been involved in many activities, sports, and clubs my entire life. I frequently hold positions of authority and high rank in these groups and am always willing to put those skills to work as well. Some extracurriculars I have been a part of include the Campus Activities Board, Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society, Maryville Womens’ Leadership Program, Student Council, National Honor Society, Varsity Soccer, and Varsity Tennis.
I am thrilled to begin a career and future in Alberta, Canada. Thank you for your time and consideration of my qualifications.
