To Whom It May Concern-
I have enclosed my resume in response to the guidance counselor and student assistance
counselor position. My background combines an intensive academic preparation in psychology
and curriculum as well as program development in substance abuse and related issues. I have
both a Masters and PhDABD from completing research in addiction and other behavioral issues. I
have a copyrighted and trademarked program, PASS©™, pursuing a safer society from which I
have a PhDABD. I am also an adjunct instructor at Warren County Community College and a
member of the Warren County LACA/DA.
I have in depth experience teaching and counseling diverse populations that range from
professionals, college students to offenders. I am presently employed as a professor in a
community college where I teach psychology. My past employment includes teaching,
training, developing, and implementing varied curricula relating to addiction, lifestyle change,
and forensic psychology. In my past employment, I have arranged referrals, conducted
assessments for different levels of care, and have been an interpersonal evaluator and a
licensing specialist in a community correctional facility in Pennsylvania. I was also a senior
therapist within depth knowledge and experience in all aspects of prevention, assessment,
identification, intervention in addiction and all behavioral problems.
I am a self-motivated individual with strong organizational, analytical, and
interpersonal skills. I have an in-depth knowledge of facilitating, teaching, and conferring with
multicultural populations. My flexible pedagogies, resources, and knowledge create and
provide opportunities for students to explore and achieve their educational and life goals. I
would appreciate meeting with you to discuss my qualifications for this position in detail. I
have enclosed my resume for your review. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for
your time.
Sincerely yours,
