About candidate

About you
I’m a passionate educator and wellness professional with a proven track record in creating engaging, accessible, and results-driven learning experiences. With almost 10 years of experience as a Spanish teacher, I’ve developed and delivered differentiated instruction tailored to diverse learner needs—both in-person and virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic. My background also includes coaching clients as an online fitness coach, where I design customized programs, track progress through data-driven systems, and educate clients on sustainable lifestyle habits.

Blending instructional design skills with a deep understanding of behavior change and motivation, I excel at building training content that’s both practical and inspiring. I bring strong communication, collaboration, and project management skills to every role, and I’m deeply committed to helping others grow—whether in a classroom, a coaching session, or a digital training module.

I’m now seeking a full-time remote role where I can combine my passion for personal development, education, and wellness into impactful training solutions for mission-driven organizations.
What are you looking for in a new role?
I’m looking for a remote role where I can contribute to a mission-driven team, create meaningful learning experiences, and help others grow through thoughtful, engaging training. I’m especially drawn to positions that blend education, wellness, and personal development—where I can use my creativity, communication skills, and passion for helping people thrive. A supportive, collaborative work environment and opportunities for professional growth are also very important to me.
What you are interested in working with us?
I’m drawn to your organization because of your commitment to empowering others through accessible learning and meaningful development. Your values around personal growth, impact, and innovation align closely with my own, and I admire the way you’re using education to make a difference. I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute my skills in teaching, coaching, and content creation to a team that shares my passion for helping people lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
What has been most challenging experience in a past role?
One of the most challenging experiences I’ve had was learning how to effectively engage and support students with vastly different learning needs and language proficiencies in the same classroom. At first, it felt overwhelming trying to balance lesson pacing, differentiation, and classroom management. But over time, I have been able to develop stronger systems for planning, learned to use more adaptable teaching tools, and become more confident in tailoring my communication to support each student. It ended up being one of the most rewarding parts of my job and has taught me how to be more flexible, patient, and solution-oriented—skills I now carry into everything I do.

Dear Hiring Manager,

I’m excited to apply for the Online Training & Development Specialist position. With a unique background in education and wellness, I bring a dynamic blend of instructional design expertise, content creation skills, and a deep commitment to personal growth. My experience as both a Spanish teacher and online fitness coach has equipped me to design and deliver impactful learning experiences that inspire and empower diverse audiences.

In my current role as a middle school Spanish teacher, I’ve led the development of differentiated lessons for students at all proficiency levels—including native speakers—while maintaining high engagement and strong academic outcomes. I’ve also co-led extracurricular programs that extended learning beyond the classroom. Simultaneously, my work as an online fitness coach has allowed me to create customized programs, lead virtual check-ins, and coach clients on mindset, behavior change, and sustainable habit-building.

These roles have strengthened my skills in curriculum design, progress tracking, virtual communication, and learner engagement—making me an ideal fit for a training and development position focused on accessible, growth-oriented education. I’m especially drawn to opportunities that support personal development, wellness, and mission-driven work.

I would welcome the opportunity to bring my passion, creativity, and instructional expertise to your team. Thank you for considering my application—I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your mission and supporting the growth of others through thoughtful, transformative training.

Warm regards,

Alexa Valavicius
