Your job opportunities posting for the position prompted my interest. After reading the job description and having the education and experience for the position I felt this is a great opportunity for me to expand my knowledge and career. I’m a unique candidate that brings a Global Studies Degree and Peace Corps experience along with excellent communication and multitasking skills.

I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Global Studies with a Minor in Communication. In my junior year in college, I spent a semester studying abroad at the University of Norway in Oslo, Norway. This experience along with my studies sparked my interest in finding a career while experiencing other cultures. Shortly after graduating from college, I found my way into the Peace Corps. In the Peace Corp I attended a 9-week training course learning to speak and understand Bemba, Zambian culture, and teaching fish farming to local villagers. During my time in the Peace Corps, I cultivated skills in different teaching methods, keeping learners engaged over a long period of time and developing creative teaching techniques. I soon realized that my passion was to find a career teaching. The development and fine-tuning of my education and skills I’ve learned can be brought into my teaching methods in an English teaching classroom.
