PROFILE

As a confident and outgoing individual I have enthusiasm for life and have endeavored to

gain valuable experience whilst at university and in my positions as a foreign language/ ESL

teacher. Growing up in the USA and Germany, living in the UK and in China, I have been

fortunate to have experienced life, educational possibilities and professional development

within these four different countries. As my university degrees were focused on China and

East Asia, I have just spent two years in China to further advance my Mandarin language

skills as well as gain experience working in an international school in an East Asian

community. I am looking to find a permanent position within the United States in which my

excellent language skills and international experience would be to the highest benefit of the

institution in which I am seeking employment.

SKILLS

Languages

As a native speaker of English and German, I have fluent knowledge of both, and am

qualified to teach both languages to native and non-native speakers. Additionally, I

developed advanced language skills in Mandarin during my BA and MS degrees, through

study abroad programs as well as living and working in China. As part of my PGCE degree I

also acquired intermediate French languages skills.

Organization

Completing my university degrees, teacher training, and working as a teacher have made me

excel in time management, organization, and the ability to work as a team member in a

most effective manner. I am very efficient and reliable, and always complete tasks before

the required deadline. I strive to always work to perfection and to the satisfaction for co-

workers and superiors.
