James Lucas

I am a dedicated individual who has the motivation and drives to succeed in any given environment or situation. I have extensive professional experience in teaching; I have taught for the last six years under a fully certified and qualified teacher certificate in a title one school in Montgomery, Lee, Phenix City, and Tallapoosa. Where I have thrived at building a relationship with students and parents, at teaching S.T.E.M. based lesson to students that are not accustomed to student center lesson, I have also worked within the field of biology in other likenesses, such as Veterans Work-study where I was able to work alongside Medical Lab tech, nurses and doctors. This experience allowed me to understand the different perspective that exists within the field of biology and allowed me to apply some of the methods and techniques that I learned during my undergraduate studies. I have also had extensive education in lesson planning and classroom management strategies during my years as a graduate student at Auburn University Montgomery. I also work as an Environmental Scientist. I perform many different tasks such as: conducting biological studies, inspections, investigations, and field chemical or physical tests using technical equipment. I love to learn, and I am always up to the challenge of whatever situation comes before me. I work great with others while also work efficiently on my own. I am in search of a position where I can develop and excel while giving my best to an employer To seek and maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills. Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.
