My name is Samantha Schroeder and I am a 21-year-old communication studies major and fine art minor at The College of New Jersey. I have maintained a strong GPA that has allowed me to study abroad in Australia and be an active member in Lambda Pi Eta National Honor Society. This past semester I had a marketing internship with Creative Marketing Alliance where I was taught valuable skills that will aid in a future career.
Outside of school, I enjoy working out, reading, listening to country music, and spending time with my family. I enjoy watching all sports especially the Dallas Cowboys and look forward to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Another passion of mine is traveling; after studying abroad in Australia I cannot stay in one place. In 2010 I have plans to travel to Las Vegas, Puerto Rico, North Carolina, and Nashville. While attending school I have held a job at Jasna Polana Golf Club, where I work in the food and beverage department.
Although I have spent my time in communications classes and have had a marketing internship, I am very interested in pursuing a master of arts in teaching. My experience working at a marketing firm and private golf course has given me the resources needed for the patience and creativity looked-for in a teacher. I want the chance to experience satisfaction from seeing a child succeed and seeing them have fun while learning. I believe my communication, organizational and creativity skills will allow me to become a successful teacher.
