OBJECTIVE To obtain a position as a Math teacher between grades K-6, and/or up to Algebra I at the middle school level.

QUALIFICATIONS During my time at The University of Virginias College at Wise, I completed several education courses for the Secondary Education minor, and also for the Liberal Arts & Sciences major. Also during my time there I completed the math requirement for the Algebra I add-on endorsement. While attending the University, I had original plans of becoming a secondary educator in math so I have also taken many more math courses than required for the math concentration for Elementary Education, and have also taken many computer sciences courses as well. I hold a degree in Pre-Teacher Education and General Studies from Mountain Empire Community College, which was based for the Elementary Education major. I have also substituted in the following areas: English, Math, Technology, Family and Consumer Sciences, Keyboarding, Physical Education, and Science, all of which were between K-12. My most common areas to substitute in were Math 7 and 8, and Technology 7.
