I am currently employed as a Site Leader at Little Chico Creek Elementary School, where I am responsible for managing a group of third- and fourth-grade children. My responsibilities are as follows:

• Create a weekly lesson plan that includes generating an "enrichment" activity designed to support children's learning and creativity, as well as a "recreational" activity to support physical development. These activities must be adaptable across age groups, so additional planning in anticipation of a need for accommodations is necessary.
• Respond to behavior challenges
• Provide homework support
• Help resolve conflicts between children
• Supervise children and ensure safety
• Maintain knowledge of emergency responses
• Develop professional relationships and collaborate with coworkers to delegate responsibility and develop learning plans
• Develop appropriate personal relationships with children

Due to having to move back up to Chico for college, I am no longer able to work full-time in this position, but I am still an employee. As the Human Resources Clerk, I supported the head of Human Resources with various administrative tasks. Consistently, I was responsible for overseeing and organizing confidential files with accuracy and discretion. Additionally, I managed correspondence over email and the phone as a representative of Gustine Unified School District. I updated documents and assigned units to employees.

As a member of Chico State's chapter of the National Student Speech Language Hearing Association, I participated in various community service and advocacy opportunities. This includes their Walk for Talk to spread awareness for laryngeal dystonia, Walk for Alzheimer's, and volunteering at the Autism Fair. As a member, I was also able to further my education through attending the 16th Annual NSSLHA Conference: Empowering Communication with AAC.

Twice a week, I volunteered at Little Chico Creek Elementary School, where my responsibilities would be as follows:

• Adapts to unexpected changes and responds to behavior challenges
• Helps to resolve conflicts between children
• Assists site leaders in their recreation and enrichment activities through administering instructions and monitoring large groups of children
