Summary

Working at Urban Outfitters helped me gain more organizational skills and communication skills. These both help in the classroom to get students on track and let them have a clear understanding of the lesson for the day.


While a student at FAU, had the opportunity to serve in various leadership positions in Theta Phi Alpha. They were Ritual Chair, Marshal, Social Chair, and Panhellenic Delegate. Also on the College Panhellenic Association (CPA) board as the Vice President of Programming. Worked with the different organizations to plan sisterhood events and bring community. together. These positions helped me learn leadership skills and taught me how to interact with different people, and how to work in stressful situations. while problem-solving between different groups and board itself.


These skills are beneficial in teaching when it comes to interacting with students, administration, parents, as well as other teachers.
