Previous Research Intern for Global Treks & Adventures LLC

I had recently graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a major in Conservation Biology and minors in Anthropology and Pan-African Studies. I also have obtained a certificate in Cultural Competencies. In June 2022, I was selected as a research intern by Global Treks & Adventures LLC to research Native Hawaiian culture, mythology, and societal structures. The internship was based in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawai'i. My primary responsibilities were to research the cultural, spiritual, and ecological significance of various land areas on the island including Mauna Kea and Kilauea. During my final two semesters of university, I had decided to take on yet another research project. I had focused my research on the cultural, spiritual, and ecological significance of the Florida Everglades in regards to the Seminole Tribe. During this research, I had the opportunity to interview the collections manager of the South Florida Archaeology Department through the Florida Museum of Natural History located in Gainesville, Florida. As part of my final requirement to obtain my degree, I was given the opportunity to study abroad in Honduras in June 2023. It was here that I had been given the opportunity to, once again, research the cultural, spiritual, and ecological significance of different land areas throughout Honduras. I had learned of how the land itself had changed over the years and how this change had altered the livelihoods of the Indigenous communities throughout Honduras. Throughout my studies at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, I had taken various Anthropology courses. I had studied various Indigenous cultural groups hailing from all parts of the world. My strong suits are Native American cultures. I had left Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a 3.8 GPA in my Anthropology minor, a 3.5 GPA in my Pan-African Studies minor, and a 4.0 GPA in my Cultural Competencies Certificate. I will be willing to provide transcripts if necessary.

Alecia DeNee
Chesapeake, VA

Old Dominion University Mentor and English Master

English has always been a passion of mine. It has always been my favorite subject. I've always been interested in reading and analyzing literature of many genres. I write poetry, craft debates, and argumentative speeches. Additionally, I've published short stories on Story Bird. Moreover, being on the debate team, in high school, has afforded me the opportunity to respectfully and properly delve into literature with an open mind. I worked as a reading specialist for two years as well as I'm currently in a teaching role at a gifted school. The accelerated program is far more sophisticated than the lesson plan provided by the City of Hampton. I also participated in reviewing and editing English writings and thesis for my college peers. In addition to editing, I create lesson plans for my middle school students. I read and edit students' essays for standardized testing. By being in a teaching environment, it lends support to mentoring and tutoring students in English Language Arts. Teaching, tutoring, and mentoring my middle schoolers in English helps them to strategically help them build upon their vocabulary, reading proficiency, context clues, test taking skills, and overall literary devices. Lastly, holding degrees in Social Sciences and Human Services, I've had an abundance of high level English, Literature, and Philosophy courses. These courses honed in on my critical thinking skills-which allows me to teach English effectively. My love for words, grammar, and English Language Arts is a lifelong love to the art itself.

Yardley, PA

English Made Easy!

I am a special education teacher for over 20 years. I have spent the majority of my time working with struggling readers and writers. I have worked with severely dyslexic children, gifted children and everything in between. I have taught every age level from 3 to 18. I thoroughly enjoy lifting these children up and seeing the joy on their faces as they discover new worlds through reading and writing. I currently work in a learning center with high school girls/young ladies. It is wonderful and very rewarding, especially after Covid, when most children fell behind. I have also working in public and private schools in varies states. I found both to be rewarding, and yet the private schools that focused specifically on students with reading challenges were my favorite. I learned SO much from fellow teachers and tons of professional development they provided us on a regular basis. I have tutored so many students over the years I have most certainly lost count. I feel very grateful to be able to relieve the stress that often affects families due to students who struggle with homework and assignments. The families are always so grateful. I have worked at a specialized school for most of my summers that is for students with severe reading issues and need to go to ESY. I never tire of teaching the English language and all of it's challenging nuances. Making it fun and enjoyable has always been a gift of mine and has lead to my successful tutoring career over the years.
