Good Morning,

​

The​ ​opportunity to​ ​teach​ ​and​ ​inspire​ ​students​ ​in​ ​your​ ​school​ ​is​ ​an​ ​exciting​ ​prospect​ ​for​ ​which​ ​I​ ​am well-qualified.​ ​​ ​As​ ​I​ ​am​ ​searching​ ​for​ ​a​ ​school​ ​that​ ​values​ ​experience​ ​and​ ​offers​ ​a​ ​feeling of​ ​community​ ​and​ ​care​ ​for​ ​students​ ​I​ ​feel​ ​that​ your school​​ ​​would be the​ ​perfect fit.

 

As​ ​disclosed​ ​in​ ​the​ ​attached​ ​resume,​ ​I​ ​have​ ​teacher​ ​certification​ ​from​ ​the​ ​Florida Department​ ​of​ ​Education​ ​in​ ​multiple​ ​areas​ ​and​ ​have​ ​a​ ​broad​ ​knowledge​ ​base​ ​of developmental​ ​practices​ ​and​ ​educational​ ​theories.​ ​I​ ​have​ twenty-two​ ​years​ ​teaching experience​ ​as​ ​a​ ​​HS​ ​Literature​ ​and​ ​Academic​ ​Writing​ ​teacher,​ ​Learning Specialist for GIfted and Talented, MS​ ​Language​ ​Arts​ ​and Reading​ ​teacher,​ ​and​ ​as​ ​a​ ​MS​ ​Literacy​ ​Coach​ ​​in​ four ​reputable​ ​districts,​ ​stateside​ ​and internationally.​ ​My​ ​highest​ ​level​ ​of​ ​education​ ​is​ ​a​ ​Masters​ ​of​ ​Science in School Counseling. 

 

My​ ​education​ ​and​ ​experiences​ ​have​ ​helped​ ​me​ ​grow​ ​as​ ​an​ ​educator​ ​and​ ​would​ ​be​ ​an asset​ ​to​ ​your​ ​learning​ ​community.​ ​I​ ​am​ ​highly​ ​flexible​ ​and​ ​have​ ​the​ ​ability​ ​to​ ​work​ ​with colleagues​ ​in​ ​multiple​ ​settings.​ ​I​ ​also​ ​have​ ​strong​ ​leadership​ ​experience,​ ​knowledge​ ​of current​ ​research​ ​and​ ​implementation​ ​of​ ​teaching​ ​strategies​ ​for​ ​diverse​ ​students,​ ​as​ ​well as​ ​outstanding​ ​interpersonal​ ​communication​ ​with​ ​students,​ ​administration,​ ​teaching teams,​ ​parents,​ ​and​ ​members​ ​in​ ​the​ ​community.​ ​I​ ​am​ ​confident​ ​that​ ​these​ ​strengths​ ​will greatly​ ​benefit​ ​your​ ​district.

​

I​ ​am​ ​currently​ ​in​ ​my fourth ​year​ ​as​ the Secondary Head of English, teaching grades 9, 11 and 12 at Yangon Academy International School ​​ Last year I assumed a  role, adding School Counselor.  ​The​ ​last​ ​two​ ​years​ ​have​ ​been​ ​an exciting​ ​time​ ​of​ ​firsts,​ ​challenges,​ ​and​ ​an​ ​abundance​ ​of​ ​personal​ ​and​ ​professional growth.​ ​​ ​I​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​be​ ​in​ ​love​ ​with​ ​this​ ​life,​ ​developing​ ​as​ ​a​ ​teacher and ​student​ ​advocate.   I​ ​am​ ​a​ ​passionate,​ ​energetic,​ ​and​ ​adventurous​ ​person.​ ​I​ ​love​ ​to​ ​live​ ​life​ ​to the​ ​fullest.​ ​Personally,​ ​I​ ​am​ ​driven​ ​by​ ​traveling​ ​and​ ​lifelong​ ​learning​ ​To​ ​be​ ​able​ ​to combine​ ​my​ ​love​ ​for​ ​traveling,​ ​experience​ ​other​ ​cultures,​ ​and​ ​grow​ ​professionally​ ​abroad continues​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​dream​ ​come​ ​true​ ​for​ ​me.

​

I​ ​would​ ​love​ ​the​ ​opportunity​ ​to​ ​learn​ ​more​ ​about​ ​your school and​ ​and​ ​I​ ​hope​ ​you​ ​will​ ​consider​ ​me​ ​as​ ​a​ ​candidate​ ​for​ ​an​ ​interview.​ ​Please​ ​feel​ ​free to​ ​contact​ ​me​ ​with​ ​any​ ​questions.

Thank​ ​you​ ​very​ ​much​ ​for​ ​your​ ​time​ ​and​ ​consideration.​ ​I​ ​look​ ​forward​ ​to​ ​hearing​ ​from​ ​you soon.
