Summary Efficient, dedicated and enthusiastic student of English at Wheaton College
Described as a person able to discuss complex and sensitive material coherently and fluidly;
especially adept at initiating discussion pertaining to topics concerning thematic elements
particularly in the context of literature and education
Very involved in various aspects of extracurricular life at Wheaton; faculty members have
commented upon involvement in Wheaton community saying involvement is exceptional given
status as a commuter
Despite prominent involvement in various clubs and organizations, academic success has not
been disregarded as evidenced by Dean’s List appearances in the years 2011, 2012 and 2013
Skilled at learning new concepts quickly, working well under pressure, and communicating ideas
clearly and effectively.
Extensive computer training, including knowledge of Excel, PowerPoint, and Banner System at
Wheaton
Qualities include: professional presence, diligent, polite and respectful toward peers, colleagues,
and supervisors
Specific Skills Pertaining to Senior Seminar 401 War Memoirs: infer textual relevance to real
world applications, incorporate prior knowledge of my subject and integrate that knowledge into
the presentation to establish audience connection to the subject, the ability to utilize the
platform’s ‘help’ system, interpret the legend of symbols for this particular publishing site,
corroborate online text-to-text idiosyncrasies, utilize available IT personnel, able to manipulate
print text and translate that text into a digital format, learn how digital renderings of text must
be clear for the added ability on the part of readers to ‘zoom in’ on the text, work alongside a
partner rather than against his or her suggestions or opinions, realize that subjects, especially
humans, are multi-dimensional and there can be many facets to investigate or highlight, prepare
oneself for a team to not necessarily see the value in what you have chosen and accept or
disagree respectfully with those views during presentations, keep the subject connected to the
reader even if he or she veers off in a different direction from the section’s message, and provide
insight from other members involved in the same experience as the subject performing the same
job or task.
