My proposal is enclosed for your review. <br /> 1 have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, Teaching Emphasis,'with a minor in Education j <br /> from the University of California, Davis. Originally, I had planned to become a secondary <br /> English teacher. However, life intervened as it always does, which set me on the path of <br /> human resources development. Throughout my career I have held several customer service <br /> and clerical positions, eventually taking a clerical human resources position with Orange <br /> County Teachers Federal Credit Union (now Schools First Federal Credit Union). This <br /> institution taught me how to provide "World Class Service," which I try to practice every day. In <br /> this position, I also gained knowledge and skill in a variety of areas including recruitment, <br /> benefits processing, basic employment law, employee relations, confidentiality and others. <br /> After leaving the credit union, i began to work part-time for the Santa Ana College School of <br /> Continuing Education as an Office Skills instructor. Almost 100% of the time, my students <br /> were English-as-a-Second-Language speakers who held entry-level and manual labor jobs, <br /> and who were trying to gain skills and improve their family situations. I was tremendously <br /> impressed by how hard they worked and how willing they were to learn something-anything- <br /> new that would help them progress in life. 1 knew then that adult education was my true <br /> calling. I also enjoyed improving and sharpening my Spanish-language skills, which I now use <br /> almost daily. <br /> I taught the Office Skills course for approximately a year and a half and then took a short <br /> break. When I returned to work in the fall of 2000, my new assignment was to teach <br /> Employability Skills at the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center. I was very excited to be a part of the <br /> process of helping people find work. In the beginning I gave the orientation to W/O/R/K Center <br /> services in addition to teaching Skills Analysis and R6sum6 Writing, and I was always amazed <br /> at what services were available to our community. <br />
