To whom this may concern on the hiring committee;

May 20, 2017

I am extremely interested in the current position as a Paraeducator.. I believe my experience and skills make
me an excellent candidate for this position.

I have over six years as a volunteer educational assistant with the Portland public school district, working with
grades K through eight, specifically was working with students in special needs programs. I am currently
enrolled in Portland Community College pursuing my associates degree. Ive been taking early childhood
education classes as well as basic education classes. Working with children in their fundamental years of
development is my goal. I volunteer at Da Vinci Arts Middle School as an after school dance team coach for 6-8
graders. I teach choreography, technique, drill down and team bonding. I prepare a diverse range of learners to
compete in dance team competitions, and condition them to be ready for high school dance programs. My life
has changed drastically these last couple years as an adult, I have an almost two year old son, however my
dreams of becoming a preschool teacher have not changed. I hope to further expand my experience in
teaching by an opportunity from you to display my determination and genuinely friendly nature in the
classroom. My main goal is to positively impact students lives in their first years within the school system.

I encourage you to give me an opportunity to interview with you, preferably at your earliest convenience.
