Dear Precious Mae a. Atendido:

I am writing to apply to the Academic Coach and Technology Assistant posted on the Sece website. I am interested in the position because I feel I am in a position to both assist my fellow students and improve my skills working with your team.

I currently have about two years working with the remote learning systems in place at Hawaiʻi Community College as a student, with a comparable time frame working with Google Workspace, also as a student. These skills would help me in the Academic Coach and Technology Assistant at University Center, West Hawaiʻi, not only with teaching them, but I have also seen them from a returning student perspective.

Thank you for your consideration and time. Please find my résumé attached. You can contact me on my cell phone at (719)639-3153. Aloha, and I look forward to speaking with you.

Mahalo,
