Majoring in English, I rarely had exams in school. Instead, college consisted of going to lacrosse practice every day and writing a minimum of 50 new pages every week for various writing assignments. These essays were of course always pertaining to readings that the classes were engaging with at the time. I'm proud to say that my best grades have always been in English literature. Upon leaving school, however, one quickly learns that passions unfortunately come second to paychecks (at least if you want to move out of your parents' house).

Eager to start my career, I took the first corporate job I was offered. Things went surprising great. The office had high ceilings and and open floor plan. It was filled head to tow with people my age, hungry both to compete with and to help one another. I've always been a fast learner. The atmosphere in the office combined with my competitive sports background and desire to help my team succeed led me to quickly become a top performer at this large publicly traded tech company in New York City for the next three years. There, I developed strong rapport building and general communication skills. When COVID-19 forced us to begin working from home, it gave me time to think about the things I have not done and the places I have not been. Not wanting a promotion at the company I was at, which had moved to 100% remote work, I decided to purchase a 168-Hour Level 5 Online TEFL Course in hopes that I could soon spend 10 months teaching English abroad.

Shortly after beginning my TEFL course, I left my sales job to begin working at a nationally recognized, critically acclaimed restaurant. Here, again, the focus remains on communication. If I were asked to describe what I do at work in one word, it would be communicate. The restaurant has lofty standards to uphold and a story to tell about every dish. Each customer, conversely, has their own sets of dietary restrictions, likes, dislikes, etc. that we need to maneuver around during service. We work as a team. We communicate and we work to put smiles on customers' faces. While this work is very rewarding, I my eyes are set on teaching English abroad. I believe that the skill sets I began developing in school and have continued to build upon throughout my career will transition smoothly into teaching English. I hope you agree.
