It is with great excitement that I am seeking to be your vice president of NUS for the 2019-2020 year.  You are an amazing group of people, and I am eager to encourage and support you as we journey through this year together.  As a mature student in the program, I feel that I have the tools to offer this support and the experience to do it effectively.  A few highlights that suit me for this role are below:

-12 years of experience as a secondary school teacher

-experience organizing events such as mini-olympics, semi-formal, prom

-parent-teacher interviews, coaching (football/basketball/gymnastics), fitness instruction

-meeting independent and collaborative project deadlines

-panel member of Black Diamonds student group

-guest presenter at North Park Wellness Week 2018/2019

My work in the education system has strengthened my communication skills and I am eager to listen and always ready to work in collaboration.  I am organized, a dedicated planner and have a great deal of practice working toward group goals.  My desire is to help make our year a smooth one through clear communication, transparency and student engagement.  I plan to be here for you!  Please feel free to approach me at any time.  I am happy to answer your questions, and to wish to get to know you.  Thank you, and don’t forget to vote!!
