Hi! I am Natalie Resch.

My name is Natalie Rush, and I am a recent

graduate of you Test it University up here in Logan,

Utah. I received a degree in English with a minor

in teaching, and it's through the secondary education program.

So I'm qualified to teach Great six through 12 in

the state of Utah.

And I also do have an active Utah teaching license

that I did receive just a little bit about me.

I am a mother of three kids.

My oldest is Sarah.

She is in seventh grade, currently my middle son.

He is in third grade currently, and then my youngest,

Rachel. She's a kindergartner, and they're all in the Chinese

dual language program at their school here in Cash Valley.

And I also have the most adorable dog ever.

Her name is Milly.

I received her as a Christmas gift.

She's super hyper like all abs and keeps me on

my toes and love her to bits just like I

love my kids.

The reason why I'm choosing Utah Virtual Academy is the

first a student choice.

Students I noticed when I went through your website have

the ability to choose four different classes, and I believe

that if you give a student a choice in their

education, they're going to choose something that interests them and

they become more invested in their education on.

I think that's really important.

The second is the value of a safe learning environment.

Some students aren't able to excel in a public setting.

There's a lot of students who feel safer at home.

There's some students who have medical needs and need to

be a home, and they all deserve a quality education.

And they deserve to be in a place where they

feel safe and comfortable learning.

Why I think I am the best candidate for the

position. The first is is I have been on the

receiving end.

Most of my classes that I have taken through Utah

State University have been broadcast or blended broadcast.

I know what works and I know what doesn't work.

The second is its technology base, Lanie and I think

that's really neat.

Technology is the future, and students, if they go on

to college, are going to need to have those skills

with technology to be successful.

The third is I have industry and career experience.

Outside of education.

I worked at Dai Fuku America, which is a manufacturing

company. And then I went on and worked in finance

at Wells Fargo Advisors, and after several years of a

break in my education, I decided to return and become

an English teacher.

The reason being is English is so important to have

a successful career, whether you decide to go on to

college or whether you decided to go on into a

professional career.

Either way, you need to have those English skills to

be successful.

And I was a technical editor at Dai Fuku America

for a little bit when the recession hit.

I actually ended up picking up the load of the

technical editors because I had the ability to edit documents

and also document design.

That's kind of where they placed me amongst other drops.

When I worked at Wells Fargo, they did have a

lot of forms that they used, but I had to

do a lot of client correspondents and because of my

ability in English, I was able to effectively create documents

that are back office, was able to approve and support

to send out to clients, and I think it's important

that students realize that what they learn in the classroom

correlates to the road world outside of academia.

So that's the reason why I believe that I am

the best candidate for this position.

I have experience being the student.

I have experience in the real world, and technology is

the future.

I hope to hear back from you soon.
