As evidenced by my profile, my academic and professional experiences are rather extensive and diverse. Within the field of education, I found a great passion for and success in film studies, literature, and the social sciences (mainly history). While at Temple University, I attained a BA in Film and Media Studies, a minor in History, and a certificate in Acting, all whilst maintaining a consistently high GPA. The vast majority of my studies have been dedicated to critical analysis and writing. This passion for analysis and writing goes far beyond my academic career, as those two things are my main passions in life. I dedicate my free time to these two areas, they have gone beyond being my studies to also being my hobbies. My skills in analysis, writing, and reading comprehension are unmatched and my passion to continue this knowledge is unwavering. My experiences in the professional world are just as vast as those in the educational world. I have extensive experience in almost every area of employment one can think of, with animal care, customer service, hospitality, public speaking, and restaurant industry experience being the highlights. My skillset is extensive and well-practiced due to years of employment. Many of these jobs involved working effectively in high-pressure situations, which I have become accustomed to. I work incredibly well under pressure, am a fast learner, and a dedicated/hard worker.
