Please consider me if you are looking for someone with an empathic listening style, a high degree of patience working with others, people-oriented, able to facilitate groups, a skilled mediator of conflict or misunderstanding, and an adept communicator.
With my dedication to providing comprehensive support to a talented student base, I helped with student outreach while maintaining prompt and courteous communication with graduate students and program members. Complemented by my bachelor's degree in Secondary Education of Social Studies, I am positioned to motivate and inspire others and use my expertise to provide overarching support for individuals' skill sets and needs.
My experience highly qualifies me for this position. Currently, I teach History and Geography at Chartwell International School. Previously, I worked for the Graduate Student Association as the Communications Manager and was elected President. My responsibility was to provide a sense of connection and support for the entire graduate community. The main goal of a communications manager is to form a sense of inclusion, belonging, and support. I have proven my commitment to this goal to my graduate community, which has resulted in my progression from a Communications Manager in the GSA to Vice President to President. As President, I coordinate with all department heads and UMBC administration on concerns facing the graduate school. As a group, the GSA has worked on various large-scale events, reforming our bylaws, ensuring adequate transportation and housing for an influx of international students, and cultivating an inclusive and collaborative environment amongst graduates students.
From I worked under Ira Fabri, as her assistant and the Academic Success Center Mentor. In this position, I assisted in training new undergraduate tutors in pedagogical practices.
I have substituted in both long and short-term positions, in every subject matter, within multiple and diverse Baltimore County Public Schools. Second, my experience, as evidenced by my lesson planning, lecturing, instructing, grading, and creating an interpersonal connection with my students while providing a positive and challenging learning environment, qualifies me as the ideal candidate for this position.
With my sincere interest in leveraging my skill set and experience to impact students' university experiences positively, I will significantly contribute as your next employee. I look forward to discussing the position, and my qualifications, in further detail.

Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely,

Ethan Post
