职业生涯

I am an English teacher at Katz Yeshiva High School in Boca Raton, 佛罗里达, 我能提供高质量的服务吗, 对学生进行个性化指导, 提高他们的批判性思维能力, 发展他们的书面和口头沟通能力, and fostering their academic and personal growth as a whole. I take pride in knowing that I'm not only imparting knowledge but also equipping my students with lifelong skills that transcend boundaries and open doors to countless opportunities. It's the combination of the supportive educational community and the enduring impact of the English language that makes my job truly gratifying.


为什么是联合山? 

作为一名高三学生, I attended the Mount Union大学 through the College Credit Plus program. 从那年开学的第一天起, I was warmly welcomed with open arms and surrounded by an atmosphere of kindness and encouragement. The professors and fellow students I encountered during my CCP year were incredibly supportive and went out of their way to get to know me. It was clear to me that Mount Union was more than just a place of education; it was a place where friendships flourished, 支持是丰富的, 个人成长得到了培育. This sense of belonging and the strong bonds I formed during that time solidified my decision to choose Mount Union for my undergraduate studies. I knew that I wanted to continue my educational journey in an environment where I felt valued, 支持, 挑战我最大的潜能. Mount Union not only met these criteria but exceeded my expectations in every way.


为职业生涯做准备 

作为一名本科生, I had the privilege of being a part of several extracurricular activities, 包括Alpha Chi Omega姐妹会, 欧米茄希腊荣誉勋章, Kappa Delta Pi教育荣誉, 还有大学拉拉队. 在我参与这些组织的过程中, 我有机会在执行董事会任职, 这让我培养了很强的领导能力. This experience not only helped me build confidence but also provided me with valuable insights into team dynamics, 组织, 和决策. These skills and the self-assurance I gained during my undergraduate years continue to be instrumental in my success as a teacher in the classroom. They have enabled me to effectively manage and engage with my students, 与同事合作, 并为学校社区做出积极贡献. 拥抱每一个来到你面前的机会, 因为最后, it is often the things left undone that weigh the heaviest on the heart. 你会发现你很少后悔你所做的事情.


你为什么喜欢联合山?

I love Mount Union because it has been a place of immense personal growth and self-discovery for me. The university has provided me with a myriad of opportunities to explore my passions, 发现我的优势, 并真正了解我在生活中喜欢什么. 在英语系内部, I was consistently challenged to step out of my comfort zone to reach my fullest potential. 虽然有时很困难, this experience was indispensable in preparing me to confidently navigate the post-undergraduate phase of my life, 培养我的独立和自信. My professors recognized my potential even when I couldn't fully recognize it within myself. 他们的支持从未停止. 它保持不变, 在我读研究生的过程中, 我在哪里获得了英语硕士学位, 现在, 因为我开始了我的职业生涯.

Another one of the most remarkable aspects of Mount Union is the abundance of outlets for meeting people and forming close bonds. 无论是通过参与课程, 丰富多彩的课外活动, 或者是一个热情包容的社区, I have had countless opportunities to connect with others who share my interests and values. These connections have not only enriched my college experience but have also become the foundation for lifelong friendships. 在联合山, I've not only found what I'm passionate about but have also formed connections that will last a lifetime. 联合山给了我一些最好的朋友, 和他一起,我的生命将继续成长, 我真是感激不尽.


未来的目标

One of my primary career goals as an English teacher is to continually foster a love for literature and language in my students. 而学业成绩无疑是重要的, I aim to create an educational environment where students not only excel in their studies but also develop a passion for reading, 写作, 批判性思维. I want my students to leave my classroom with both improved skills and a lasting enthusiasm for exploring new ideas and perspectives through literature. Achieving this goal involves constantly refining my teaching methods, 紧跟教育潮流, and tailoring my approach to the unique needs and interests of each student. I believe that instilling a love for English in my students will empower them to become confident communicators and lifelong learners, 为他们选择的任何领域的成功做好准备.
