Experience
Girls Gymnastics Coach 2005 - Present Lone Mountain Gymnastics 1237 North Rouse Avenue
Coaching requires constant assessment of each gymnast individually. This has taught me how to meet each child where they are at and how to provide the skills they need supplemented with both support and motivation to help them be their very best.

Teacher Aide 2007 Early Learning Center 4310 Durston Rd

This experience taught me the importance of classroom management and consistency. These two components were not strong points of this facility and I saw the repercussions firsthand. Working with Pre-K through early Elementary ages helped me gain perspective on early childhood development.

Team Teacher 2010-2011 E-free Church of Bozeman 1701 South 19th Avenue
Teaching cooperatively is wonderful if done correctly. I had the privilege to work with an energetic individual who was as passionate as I was about making our content come alive and our lessons memorable.

Summer Nanny/Babysitter 2006-2011 Denise Anderson

Its always fascinating to see how much kids grow and change from year to year. This was not merely a job for me, but a time to build meaningful relationships; I hope to be a positive role model in their lives for years to come.

Student Teacher, Anderson School Spring 2014 Sandy Wilson

I consider the time I am spending in Sandys classroom to be one of the most influential, positive experiences during my college career. She has helped me apply all the things I have been learning on campus to the classroom seamlessly. Everyday I learn something significant that I want to take with me as I grown into my own teaching style.
