This artifact contains my resume and my degree audit of my time at Viterbo. As you can
see not only do I have experience in the work force from my time in broadcasting, but I
have extensive experience being in the classroom environment during my time as a
substitute teacher. I have also accumulated a very solid GPA during my time at Viterbo.
