I would say my greatest strength is that I am emphatic towards people around me. For example, I have found that new hires sometimes have a difficult time transitioning into a team when they are not fully aware of the overall team dynamics, like how we complete projects, delegate tasks, etc. Personally, I have been in the same position before, and it can be very difficult. So, I now take time to introduce myself to new team members and ask them if they have any questions. I make it a point to go over what I feel will help them excel in their job role and transition into the team more efficiently. By doing this, we keep productivity flowing in the right direction, and everyone continues to push their weight equally.

I have a developed environmental career. Although this is not in a traditional classroom setting I was provided multiple opportunities to teach others on environmental processes. With DRG Pacific Services I was able to train new hires on equipment and procedures. We were often required to help other divisions and be able to expand our knowledge to other coworkers.
I am an open minded individual who thrives on enriching experiences, such as new cultural customs, cuisines, and historic education. With a lifelong commitment to community growth, I found myself pursuing an environmental career and I am excited to expand to teaching others. I enjoy sharing my experiences and knowledge with others and look forward to teaching English to others.
As my career developed I was able to learn and retain multiple technical and teaching skills. Some skills that I see utilizing is my adaptability to learn unfamiliar tools and software for new tasks. It will be useful for managing projects and tailoring lessons for student success. Additionally my experience with customers expanded my communication skills, helping me stay tuned to where I can help improve student development.

I am a friendly and cheerful individual with strong experience in customer service and customer resolution. Conflict is not new to me, and finding solutions is something I enjoy.

As a teenager, I've worked as a summer camp counselor for 7-10 year olds; as a college student, I worked as a 24/7 mentor/chaperone onsite at K-State University in Salina, Kansas. Children are refreshing and inspiring, and a constant reminder that we must improve ourselves to improve our surroundings.

With a bachelor's in nursing and interest in modern (and alternative) medicine, I enjoy researching peer-reviewed articles in my free time. Finding ways to explain complicated concepts and chemical terms in common language is difficult, but can be so rewarding when someone else suddenly understands what I do. Teaching aspirational students who want to help the world, specifically people who are sick or injured, is very much aligned with my spirit's desire.

I enjoy international culture and language, having taught myself to read Korean and am in the process of learning how to speak Spanish. After living in Kansas City and learning of its 13 international sister cities, and Friendship City status with Jeonju, South Korea, I was inspired to learn more and incorporate each sister city in the development of my skincare brand, Skinherent Beauty, with the ultimate goal of having a product inspired by each city and using special ingredients from each location to demonstrate the wisdom and beauty that each has to offer.

With regards to personal traits, I am a friendly, composed and caring individual. As visible in my CV and reference letters, I make it a point to become a reliable and accessible member of any team I'm part of. I have a versatile range of skills including, but not limited to: fast learning, attentive listener, great at explaining elaborate concepts or condensing them into a digestive manner. I am tenacious, punctual and as previously mentioned, my gregarious nature allows me connect with anyone which makes teaching concepts much easier.
As for my experience, though I have no official teaching experience, I have spent my school and university years tutoring friends and colleagues in a plethora of subjects. Education is a fundamental right and I have the privilege of being educated. Hence, this great power comes with the responsibility of helping others reach their own learning goals. Education at its core, and teaching by extension is fundamentally about care. It's a threefold relationship whereby the teacher cares about the student, the student cares about the teacher and they both care about the work or greater learning process. This philosophy of teaching is one I have come to learn through my years in academia thus it would be an honour to put it into practice alongside your experienced team.
