After School Sports and Arts Initiative

Present

School District 73, Kamloops-Thompson

This program provides opportunities for children to be involved in arts and athletic programs after school. My role within the program is a Person of Rapport which is essentially a role the provides assistance to both the Leader of the program, as well as the students. This role is crucial in regard to building relationships with the students and I know these skills will transfer to my teaching practice.

Soccer Instructor

September – June 2012-2016

Norkam Middle School, Kamloops BC

At Norkam Middle School, I helped run the co-ed soccer program for five years. I assisted and organized training sessions and games 2-3 times a week. Having to plan and organize multiple sessions a week while going to school and working another job tested my time-management skills. I always came fully prepared and ended up building very strong relationships with many of the students of whom I am still in contact with today as they are pursuing their soccer goals.
