After completing all three available levels of American Sign Language offered at Florida State University, I began tutoring students in all three of those levels in the Tallahassee area. As part of each session, we review fingerspelling, vocabulary, facial expressions, and in the advanced level: beginning syntax. I write a set of ten practice sentences for each unit to give to the student; sometimes we review all sentences in the session, others prefer to use them as a study tool on their own. My rate is $12/hour. Though I have relocated, I am still tutoring in ASL as well as English, particularly writing. I am now associated with WyzAnt Tutoring and InstaEDU tutoring services.

Assisting lead teachers in the two-year-old and three-year-old classroom, I attend to the day-to-day operations of the classroom regarding curriculum and personal care. As a new staff member, I spent several of my shifts as a "floater": helping every room in the school (infants [8 weeks] through 5 year-olds) as well as acting as an administrative assistant. I learned more about the childcare industry and the continuing education that goes along with it. For example, I co-collaborated on forming the lesson plan for various classrooms. During my time there, I initiated more incorporation of Baby Sign into our curriculum (school-wide). I built relationships with the children, parents, teachers, and administrators.

At the Gap, I have learned more about their products in specific detail, have gained further experience in extra register functions (returns, exchanges, price adjustments, etc.) and have been granted the additional responsibility of being the Gap Car Co-Champion of this store. In holding this position, I not only encourage customers to sign up for the card and rewards program, but help the management team in finding new motivations for other employees to do the same.

As an impact member, I worked in the stockroom of the store. I have assisted customers with our merchandise, such as with size/price checks. Many of the special tasks and day-to-day goals require speed and accuracy, but also great attention to detail. Some of the tasks I performed include processing shipment, replenishment of sales floor items, floor-sets/updates, audits and dressing and detailing of forms. I have also taken shifts on the sales floor, in which I am responsible for maintaining the floor, greeting and interacting with customers, and working the registers.

Beginning as a contributing writer - and later a staff writer - I wrote straightforward news and feature stories ranging from 500 to 800 words. These stories required vast communication skills, such as reaching out to beats, keeping contacts, conducting interviews, and taking advantage of social media opportunities. This writing opportunity also allowed me to improve my leads and headlines.http://www.fsunews.com/article/20120909/FSVIEW1/120909027/Tally-s-new-Chick-fil-opens-West-Tennessee-Streethttp://www.fsunews.com/article/20120927/FSVIEW1/120926035/FSU-film-moving-forward-despite-Digital-Domain-bankruptcy?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|frontpage|shttp://www.fsunews.com/article/20121206/FSVIEW/121206009/New-year-new-construction-Tennessee-Sthttp://www.fsunews.com/article/20121213/FSVIEW1/121213013/FSU-online-criminology-program-ranked-No-1?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|frontpage|s
