Dear Human Resources,

I am interest in applying for position with your company. I graduated from Mars Hill College with a BA degree in Psychology.

While working at the Enrichment Center as a job coach, and as a Habitation Technician, (this is a person who works with clients a client one on one) and at HCR Manor Care as an Activities Assistant. My goal while working with clients and residents at both the Enrichment Center and at HCR Manor Care was to assist them in achieving goals and to mentor to clients and residents by forming trusting and respectful relationships with them.

While volunteering at the Avon Lake Community Center, I helped managed the community “Jail-a-Thon”, a fund raising activity, and also participated in other fund raising activities and transported community residents to appointments. While volunteering at the Lake Erie Nature and Science Center, I assisted staff setting up and running special events and programs, helped with fund raising and assisted with the centers Planetarium programs. As a past member of the Rocky River, Ohio Toast Master Club I served as the secretary / treasurer of club from 1998 to 2001.
