Work-Based Learning Coordinator
I am honored and excited to be the Work-Based Learning Coordinator at Roosevelt High School. My journey towards this position began when I was involved in the Work-Based Learning and Work Experience Programs when I was a high school junior and senior. The relationships I was able to build with industry supervisors and my Work-Based Learning mentors led me to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Communications at the University of Northern Colorado, where I was able to learn the importance of building relationships and confidence. When I was hired to teach the public speaking courses at Roosevelt High School in 2003, I was trusted to build a program that focused on real-world public speaking skills to help students build confidence with small and large group speaking, along with confidence when interviewing and job seeking. I was so passionate about job exploration that I began completing job shadowing experiences, along with my students, to learn more about which skills students needed to build to be successful as they began their professional journeys. My passion for Work-Based Learning was heightened after pursuing a Master’s Degree in Communications and certification to become a Work-Based Learning Coordinator. So, I am ready and I feel that I have been ready to help students explore their passions and interests since I was a part of a similar program when I was in high school.
