Summary

I have been employed at Minor Hill School for the past eight years, being employed as a pre-K assistant. While being employed there, I also serve on our school's leadership team, as well as tutor and work in the after-school LEAPS program. I strive to do the very best at my job. I am very involved in the school and in the community. I have been the secretary for the nonprofit organization, Minor Hill Alliance, for the past four years. I participate in after-school programs, including festivals, numerous events, and ball games. I graduated from the University of Tennessee Southern and earned a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, with a focus on Social Sciences, and Education. I am currently enrolled at the University of North Alabama, where I am furthering my education to pursue a master's degree in Early Childhood Education.

If I am hired at Minor Hill School for the middle school teaching position, I will go above and beyond my duties to make this school the best it can be. I enjoy every aspect of the school and community environment. Dedicated and adaptable professional with a proactive attitude and the ability to learn quickly. Strong work ethic and effective communication skills. Eager to contribute to a dynamic team and support organizational goals.
