While in High School, I worked towards being the best I could be in my classes, and I excelled in both foreign language and music. In High School, I was placed into the highest academic choir and the highest academic concert band, and I was also involved in the honors choir as an elective outside of academics which was audition based only. In high school I took AP Language and Composition, and AP French. I initially was planning to join choir in college and become a Music Composition major with a minor in French, but decided to switch to a French Education major with a minor in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Langauges (TESOL). As a freshman and sophomore at UWEC, I was involved in the Blugold Marching Band, as well as some smaller study groups started by people in my resident hall. At the end of my freshman year I decided to apply to become a Resident Assistant (RA) in Towers South on the main part of Upper Campus. I was delighted to receive the job, and I currently work as an RA and plan to continue doing so until I graduate other than one semester where I will be student teaching. The RA role has taught me to become more assertive with rules, and to become a lot more organized of a person in general. As an RA, I am taking on the job of creating the RA On Duty schedule for Towers South, and I am also working as a Mail Admin helping sort the lost mail or unknown mail either out to students or forwarding it to where it needs to go to. While I am not working on Campus as an RA, back in Onalaska, WI I have worked at Culver's for just over 3 years, and I am working as a Floor Leader. All of these jobs have taught me about skill development, leadership qualities, and time management.
