Summary
I'm excited to apply for the CTE/Woodshop teaching position at Lead-Deadwood High School.
My background blends real construction experience with leadership and student support. From 2019 to 2023, I worked with Ground Up Construction on full residential builds, gaining hands-on experience in concrete, framing, roofing, siding, and finish work. I also bring leadership experience from managing teams and operations in other roles. I'm passionate about CTE because it complements general education by giving students a practical way to apply skills and build confidence. I especially enjoy helping students who learn best by doing.
