Work Experience

I always held some kind of position for a temporary period of time, usually summers but I also held a job for two years before moving to Rider University. I had jobs working with children as counselors, personal babysitters, and as a cashier. During these jobs I have always been in good standing, asked to return at any time or even offered a promotion. I believe I have a good work ethic and try nothing but being the best at any task I preform. Enclosed in this section is my resume. As you can see I have a lot of experience compared to your average college student in their first semester of their freshman year. I am use to and love to be busy. I maintained my school work, while working and being on the Cheerleading Squad and Step Squad and still finding time to participate in clubs and activities. What makes me stand out from others is my effectiveness in prioritizing. I can plan which things will take the longest and be the hardest to tackle while still finding time for everything necessary.

Academic Expencience

As far as academics, I feel like I am the one person to say that I like school. Although there are certain classes that I would rather live without, I love learning new and interesting things. I like the feeling of being informed or having an insightful conversations with someone without feeling lost or left out. Overall my experience in school is always a good one. I alsolove interacting with and meeting new people and school is that great combination for me.


I am the type of student that, is very visual and some what of a kinesthetic learner. All you have to do is quickly show me what you expect from me and I can get anything done in no time. I am also good at learning on my own, figuring things out through logic, trial and error. I like to be the best I can be, I like to ask questions to make sure I know exactly what is expected of me.


Although essays are not my favorite thing in school, when it comes to writing and thinking abstractly my grades come very easily.


Here are a few samples of school work from my college experience so thus far: (Click)

My Cheerleading Competition



This is my competition from my senior year and also the year that I was captain. The dance throughout the routine was made by myself and the stunts I had a hand in figuring out. Competitions are always exciting but filled with frustration. During my time as Captain I helped to maintain the sanity of the group and I always got along with everyone on the team, so when they were feeling stressed they would come to me and I would always ease them with a laugh. I was chosen to be captain unanimously because I am very personable and I always preform very well.

My Entertainment Speech



Here is a entertainment speech that was prepared for my COM104, Speech Communications Class. My Speech talks about my main fears, going to the dentist's and doctor's offices. I use humor to try to pull my audience in, I don't think I did a bad job either. :-)
