I am looking for a new opportunity. I am currently working towards completing the Master of Arts in Teaching program,
majoring in Educational Leadership, at the University of Saint Mary. This is a completely online program. I previously
attended the University of South Florida, where I earned a B.A. degree in Sociology. Also, I have completed a Certificate
course in HR Management from Villanova University. Through my academic experiences, I have used programs such as
Taskstream, Media Space, Mendeley, Prezi, Mindomo, and Glogster. I am extremely organized, detail oriented, and
proficient in multi-tasking.
I am very enthusiastic about this position because not only has my recent experience as a teacher been educational, I also
feel that I would be an exceptional candidate, due to my experiences in HR, as well as my Sociology background. My
position as a Recruiting Administrator at Bisk Education has enabled me to acquire experience through the Recruiting
sector of the Human Resource Department. This position has also allowed me to enhance my presentation skills, which I
acquired mostly through my college experiences. In addition, I have had supervisory practice concerning my past work
experience, which was at Pay Day Motor Sales. For more than three years I supervised an office assistant as well as
customer accounts and various company accounts, including: employee benefits, banking, payroll and 401(K).
Also, as a student and teacher, I have possessed skills such as, leadership, organization, multi-tasking, team
worker/player, and conceptualization.
If upon reviewing my resume, you decide that you would like to contact me, you can call me at (813) 613-3460 or e-mail
me at Mleigh315@yahoo.com. References are available upon request.
Thanking you most sincerely for your time and consideration.

Cordially,
