Dear School Leadership 2.0 Community,

I am currently seeking a School Counselor position within a Long Island School District.  As my attached resume cites, I am a New York State Certified School Counselor, having studied and trained at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, where I earned a Master of Science Degree in School Counseling in 2008.

As of June 2011, I was a School Counselor at Islip Middle School.   Unfortunately, due to budget restrictions, my position was eliminated for the upcoming school year.  I have been eager to get back into a school system, since.

Currently, I am the Volunteer Coordinator at Visiting Nurse Service and Hospice of Suffolk, Inc. where I direct a program comprised of training and overseeing 150 hospice volunteers who help care for hospice patients and their families. My resume outlines my varied experience in education, counseling and human services. It also demonstrates flexibility in problem solving in several very different settings.

I look forward to discussing more fully my background and the contributions I believe I can offer to the students in our community.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Amanda Dubinsky
