As a current 6th grade Science and Social Studies Teacher I effectively navigate the unique challenges of the middle school age by creating an engaging learning environment, fostering positive relationships with students, and employing strong classroom management skills to motivate and support their academic growth while guiding them through life.

As a peacemaker through the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor’s Office, I was responsible for providing direct care to a class of 25-30 (elementary-aged) students, helping them achieve established and measurable goals. This position at the time was also responsible for implementing after-school programming, engaging students in a variety of enrichment activities, providing social and emotional support, and serving children in a mixture of other capacities. This position requires a driven and compassionate leader with a desire to assist children in high-poverty situations.

As the Administrative Associate of Special Events and Scheduling Services, I worked to coordinate the event planning elements of major campus events, worked independently to initiate and accomplish actions. I also would design invitations, programs, certificates, signs, and PowerPoint presentations. Through this position I was able to provide customer service and hospitality and disseminate event information to campus groups and the University community.
