      Academic Mentor

      I was present for the students both inside and outside the classroom to encourage and acted as a secondary study resource. I was a study partner, proofreader, as well as cheerleader. I desire to see students succeed, and often was a bridge from student to instructor until the students became more comfortable building a relationship with their professor. It helped them maintain a studious distance and develop interpersonal skills they will use in many areas of life.

      Aug 2016 - Feb 2018
      Christian Educator (grades 6-8th)

      I had the wonderful opportunity to pour love and learning into a group of wonderful young students. Being a teacher at a Christian school affords me the opportunity to not only teach subjects from the academic world, but also a variety of biblical principles and life-helps - I often say that I grow and learn more than the students do.

    • Twin Valley Bible Academy

      Jun 2018 - Jun 2021

      I worked to create innovative lesson plans which encourage an environment to stimulate critical thinking and learning. I sought to teach with patience, creativity, grace, and wisdom. As a Kindergarten teacher (and 5/6th grade class instructor) I worked to find ways of teaching and mentoring that motivate students to learn (and apply what they learn.) As part of a team with fellow teachers andadministration/school/church boards, I worked alongside others well to build an atmosphere of compassion and learning. Show less

      E-Mentor Specialist

      As the E-mentor program specialist I help manage and implement an e-mentoring curriculum to be used at middle and high schools in the Knox and Perry County Promise Neighborhoods. I maintain communication with partner colleges, Promise Neighborhood School Coordinators, interns, and schools utilizing the e-mentoring program, ensuring that the implementation is successful. I revise the curriculum as needed and ensure the pre-survey and post-survey are administered for each cohort of middle/high school students participating in e-mentoring. I lead and supervise the student intern team which includes 10 full-time EKU students. As the E-Mentor Program Specialist, I work to build relationships and partnerships with middle and high schools served by the Promise Neighborhood Program in Knox County and Perry County to bring students an online college and career readiness program designed to equip them with tools to help them succeed personally and academically.
