I am inquiring about employment for the 5th - 8th Grade
STEM Teacher position.

During the summer of 2016, I organized a summer camp at Livermore
Highschool for students of migrant workers.  Erin and I taught 2 cohorts
our challenge-bot robotics curriculum.  Students kept their robots, and
since then, we have been running robotics demos at the Livermore
Innovation Fair.

Since I am coming to professional education through
a non-traditional route, I am not currently certificated.  However,
I would certainly go through the process.  For the
past 3.5 years, Gideon Hausner, a jewish day school for K-8 students
has employed me.  During that time, I have built relationships with
students, parents, teachers and faculty.

As a result, I have received many recommendation letters.  Hopefully
these letters can get me into a teaching position that supports me
while I pursue more traditional certification.

\end{itemize}

I look forward to discussing my qualifications further and can
