Skills
Coaching I take pride in coaching and teaching, and continue to do both during school months and summer months. As you will see, I am comfortable in almost all coaching situations. I believe in teamwork and I always want to try and give back to my community in a positive light. In years past, I had an opportunity to coach in both schools I taught at. At W. J. Fricker I coached the boys basketball team. At Vincent Massey I volunteered to coach the girls baseball team. Both teams were taken to local tournaments and games that they thoroughly enjoyed. I also have experience coaching the grade 9 and 10 girls at Widdifield Secondary School Junior Girls Basketball Team. The players were able to fundraise enough money to buy team warm up clothing and offset tournament costs. I took our team outside of North Bay for tournaments and games. (2012-2013) During both my practice teaching placements I was involved with a wide spectrum of extra-curricular activities (as mentioned in my résumé). I wanted to highlight my coaching experience because I feel it is something that fulfills my desire to pass on my knowledge to my learners and connect to them as an 'expert' or 'experienced' player. I have coached sports including Badminton, Baseball, Volleyball, and Basketball.
Apple Computer Knowledge Growing up the only computer in our house was a Macintosh (Apple). Now that Apple has become more of a main stream company and household name I am often the 'go to' person when people need help with an issue on a Mac. I am also very comfortable with the use of SmartBoard Technology, Document Readers, all audio/video equipment and many programs on the Mac (i.e. Garageband, iMovie, etc.).
