To Whom It May Concern:

I am excited to introduce myself as a dedicated professional school counselor with over 10 years of experience supporting diverse student populations. I am eager to discuss the opportunity to join your team and contribute to your campus's counseling services.

I firmly believe in the ethos of lifelong learning, a principle I not only impart to my students but also diligently apply in my professional journey. Over the past 5 years, I have specialized in the area of Social Emotional Learning and working on Suicide Prevention.  

I am confident in my ability to rise to the challenges of any role in your institution. My passion lies in helping students in distress discover their strengths and realize their potential. Beyond my direct work with students, I have developed strong skills in collaborative teams and how to get at-risk students to complete high school.  My strong communication skills, along with a cooperative and amicable working style, make me a valuable addition to any educational. I would be delighted to have a conversation with you about how I can contribute to and become an integral part of your team.

Looking forward to the opportunity to discuss this further.

Sincerely, Cindy Riesenberg
