Summary

I believe I possess many qualities and skills that make me a strong candidate for this position. I excel at collaborating with people. The journey I have experienced in life before God has proven to be the vehicle through which God blesses me with opportunities to walk alongside others in various circumstances. I feel I have a talent for communicating with, listening to, and teaching those around me. Currently, I work in a position where I encourage, motivate, tutor, and nurture scholars' academic goals and abilities. Naturally, I am a motivated leader, organized, and a self-starter. Learning new concepts and responsibilities quickly is also one of my strengths. I believe that utilizing my knowledge, skills, and experience would be a valuable asset.
