I am writing to apply for a position with this great and historic
institution. I realize that you all are a fast-moving institution and an
outstanding pioneer helping shape lives.
As a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with
experience in the criminal justice field, I bring the energy and commitment
to excellence necessary to thrive in your environment.
I was a four year honor student and two time student of the month award
winner during high school. While attending UW-Milwaukee I was a part of
the women's basketball team for fours and appointed team captain for the
final two. I have experience with problem solving, organization, and
communication skills. These strengths, combined with deep and varied
employment and education prepare me to make a strong and immediate impact
with this institution
I am excited about the opportunity to join your team as it continues to
move in a positive direction. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Turquoise McCain
