Summary

I am a Concurrent Education student and am currently in my fourth year of study at Nipissing University. I am a very ambitious person and my education and work experience has given me great research, time management and problem solving skills. I am patient with people and take great pride in helping them learn new things. I believe that it is so rewarding to see someone learn a new skill or finally understand a tough concept. I can offer solid organizational and leadership skills and am always eager to learn more. I am proficient with computer and multimedia technology. I am looking for an opportunity to use my knowledge and experience to help me advance and develop my future job opportunities as a hopeful teacher. I am looking for a short-term position from the end of April to the end of June as an Casual Non-Certified Teacher at your institution. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hobbies

  • I have been a competitive athlete my whole life and I currently compete for Nipissing University as an elite volleyball athlete in the OUA. This journey has given me great time management skills, as well as interpersonal skills, tenacity and resilience as a young woman. I have a great passion for the game and for coaching it to younger generations.


  • I am an animal lover and have spent a great deal of time advocating for animals and wildlife in my community. Helping animals has always been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. I hope to one day teach children the importance of wildlife and nature so that they too can develop a love and understanding of it.


  • My last hobby is art. When I was younger I would spend hours and hours painting and drawing, I love to express myself through my creations and find art to be a relaxing hobby that always makes me feel good.
