I have had over five years of experience working with children, from designing my own summer camps and enrichment experiences, to sports and fundraiser coaching. From this experience I have developed a strong knowledge of how to support, foster, and develop the knowledge and skills of kids, while allowing them space to grow and enjoy themselves in whatever activity they partake in. In my work as a Youth Leadership Fellow at Positive Tracks, I manage the accounting and organizing of 15-20 people's athletic fundraisers. Through this work I have learned how to manage a client load and make sure everyone I work with is taken care of in a timely manner. I have also learned how to stay organized in a work setting, and I apply this skill to many faucets of my professional and personal life.I want to carry my previous work experience and skills in youth work into a career in teaching. I see the skills in management and design of curriculum translating to lesson planning, and I see my administrative and organizational skills translating well to keeping a class organized, on topic, and focused on learning, growth, and justice.
