Dear Search Committee, For the past several years, I have dreamed of working in environmental education. Having grown up on a Massachusetts Audubon property, I have a genuine soft spot for the outdoors and the ideas of responsible conservation. Growing up in rural Massachusetts, I quickly learned of the importance of our natural world and how humans make an impact on it. When I moved to Tampa, Florida, it became apparent to me how many of my constituents were either unfamiliar with or afraid of wilderness. Through a position that puts me in contact with both nature and younger individuals, I can achieve my goals of making future generations aware and appreciative of conservation and the benefits it provides for mankind. Starting in high school, I noticed that I have a skill for communicating ideas to individuals who typically struggled in a traditional classroom setting. This is something I attribute to my fondness of making concepts tangible for others to grasp. I tutored younger students in courses varying from algebra to biology and chemistry and found myself loving the role of being a teacher. When I left for college, I had full intentions of becoming a high school science teacher. Soon after arriving at the University of South Florida, I realized that academia is very lacking in the areas of hands-on education, despite proven research linking field studies to better material retention amongst students. With this knowledge, I changed course in my hopes of becoming an in-class teacher to becoming an environmental educator in the non-profit sector. In line with this new career path, I looked for opportunities that would allow me to work with teens and gain additional training that would make me better suited to a career in a backcountry setting. I began working with teens as a coach for a travel hockey team of boys ages 12-15. The job of handling a wide variety of personalities and making each of these young men both feel significant to the team while helping them understand the game was a valuable experience. While doing so, I learned to speak to groups in an instructional manner and in a comforting manner one-on-one. An additional skill set I gained was a Wilderness First Responder certification through the Wilderness Medicine Institute. The Wilderness First Responder certification allows me to have peace of mind while in the backcountry with others in my charge. It opened my mind up to preventative processes and to the ability to be resourceful when reacting to an emergency. As a result of my rural upbringing, my passion for education and the outdoors, and my education in environmental sciences, I feel that this career path was tailor-made for me and I cannot wait to dive headfirst into the world of environmental education. I have enclosed my rsum and I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you about my qualifications for this position. I can be reached at isaacscott3764@gmail.com or 978-434-1044. Thank you for your time. Best regards,
