Greetings,

I am applying for the Health Education EC- 12 position. I am a passionate teacher and engaging instructor with
a proven ability to effectively convey information and lessons to diverse groups of students. Currently, I am
pursuing a Master of Education Degree in Curriculum and Instruction and also my alternative teaching
certification through Tarleton State University. I am eager to begin my teaching career and challenge students to
improve academically, personally, initiate active learning, and be a positive example for the youth of today.

I have more than 7 years of instructing experience in academic and non-academic work environments, teaching
students ranging in age from infancy to senior adults. I have taught children in swimming lessons, youth
leadership in church, adult learners for life insurance licenses, as well as youth and adult fitness classes.
Throughout my school years, I had great teachers and each one was able to challenge and help me grow into a
better person. I would be a great asset to your team because I am a team player, and firmly believe in your
schools’ mission and goals.

Please refer to my resume to see other skills that I possess which would prove that I am qualified for the
position. I am enthusiastic to start my teaching career and would be delighted to interview for this opportunity.
Please feel free to contact me by my email address at mbrkunes@gmail.com to set up a meeting.

Thank you for your interest and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Amber Kunes
