my skills and grow as an individual, as well as, a team within your
company's setting.
I strongly feel that I may have the qualifications you need to fill a
position with your company. I hold a Master's degree in Special Education,
a BS in Psychology, and an Associate degree in Early Childhood Education. I
am also currently enrolled in Capella University, where I am completing
classes towards a 2nd Master's degree in Clinical and Mental Health
Counseling. I am proficient with Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook Express,
PowerPoint, Microsoft Publisher, and have great communication skills. Most
of my college completion has taken place online, where I have also become
proficient with Blackboard, Moodle, WebCT, and other similar online course
rooms. I was responsible for completing a school newsletter for
approximately 2 years, and I am proficient with MLA and APA format. I also
hold great experience with student case loads, writing and implementing
Individualized Education Plans (IEP's), meeting scheduled deadlines,
teaching, behavior consulting, mentoring, observing, anecdotal data, and

client care for your company, I would like to be considered for a position.
