My name is India Graves and I am someone who is charismatic, reflective, and fun to be around. With my personality I do a lot of writing and also performance arts in my spare time which helps me develop my communication skills outside of a formal institutions. I also was able to find that I do really well with volunteering at my church by working with the children that are mainly from infants to about five year old. I got my degree in Communication with an emphasis in Electronic Media. I learned a lot of different styles of communication and dealings in telecommunication tools such as audio systems and cameras. I also was on the speech and debate team. On that team I was able to discover more about public speaking as a skill to learn in its writing, researching and in its oral projections. I also was able to compete and really see my progress in real time. From this I got to gain skills in teaching this skill to other students across my campus with tutoring.

I am someone who has had the opportunity to teach children and teenagers in real world classrooms thanks to my university and being on the speech team. I was able to teach English to children who needed to learn it as a second language and Public Speaking at a private college preparatory high school.

My experience that does not revolve around teaching or my education is mainly in retail management. I have had this job for eight years as I paid my way through school. In this role I started as a regular sales consultant and ended up getting promoted to management within the last two years. I also had the chance to work as an intern at Walt Disney World and gain networking skills with other international students.

I feel that my skills that I have would make me an excellent teacher in South Korea. I am someone who is personable and having teaching experiences that I could bring to the position. I am someone with longevity when it comes to work as I have a proven track record with my job in retail management.
