Dear Madam,

I believe in growth and development hence the reason I am seeking a new opportunity where I
can effectively employ my experience and skills to be an asset to your Institution and by
extension your students. I am applying for the post of Adjunct Lecturer – Performing Arts.

I was last employed as the Worship Director of Highpoint Church SVG. As the Worship Director
I was highly valued as a consistent and effective support to the Pastor and team. I supervised,
coached and spiritually directed the worship team and musicians. Weekly, I musically directed
the worship experiences, while using various software to enhance the worship. I learned how to
manage different personalities while developing impeccable organizational and leadership skills
which would be synergistically applied to enhance my contribution to the Institution’s success.

I am a young, energetic and diligent Musician/Musical Coach with the drive and ability to excel
at any task that I undertake. My expertise in Musical Arrangements, Stage Performance, Music
and Vocal Coaching, Events Planning and Music Consultant has given me a wealth of
knowledge in bringing out the best in every artiste and aspiring artiste. This allowed me to work
with many of our local and international Artiste to enhance the delivery of their product in one or
more of the above-mentioned fields. I have worked with Artistes such as: The Melisizwe
Brothers, Kiokya Cruickshank-Jack, Rodney Small, Darron Andrews, Collin Peter and the Hub
Collective, Bridget Blutcher, The Band TOUCH, Blessed Messenger, DJ Nicholas, Jaron Nurse,
Positive and Tasha Cobbs.

It has always been my dream to be able to shape the young generation of Artiste in St. Vincent
and the Grenadines hence the reason I seek to give them a platform to display their skills and
expertise at my annual event Je T’aime, while sharing techniques and pointers I’ve learned over
the years. I bring to you a creative, confident team leader with excellent analytical,
communication, writing and critical thinking skills. I have a track-record of excellence in
execution of tasks, strong work ethics and integrity:

∙ Fast learner with the ability to absorb and apply new information.
∙ Impressive attention to detail resulted in reduced errors and increased quality of output.
∙ Solution oriented approach to challenges.

after solving unconventional problems.
∙ Passionate about effectively exceeding the company’s goals as I have always contributed to
their success.
∙ Good self-management skills such as time and stress management, goal-setting
and accountability.

My resume contains additional details regarding my career accomplishments. I would welcome


an opportunity for an interview to discuss this position’s needs and the results you can
expect from me in addressing those needs.

I thank you in advance for your time, review of my qualifications and consideration. I look
forward to hearing from you soon.
