Dear [Employer's Name],

I am writing to express my strong interest in the School Social Work position at [School/Organization
Name], as advertised on OLAS. With a Master of Social Work degree from New York University, a
Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Italian, and extensive experience in social work and related fields, I
am confident I can contribute effectively to your team.

My education at New York University has equipped me with a solid foundation in social work, and my
experiences both domestically and abroad have allowed me to develop a diverse skill set. As a Social
Work Intern at Barnum Woods Elementary School, The Gregory Jocko Jackson School, and East
Meadow High School, I conducted individual and group counseling sessions, facilitated classroom
social-emotional learning lessons, and demonstrated proficiency in crisis de-escalation. These
experiences have honed my ability to address the emotional well-being of students and manage
challenging situations within a school community.

Additionally, my role at the Resiliency Resource Center during my internship at Temple University
involved screening students for participation in programs, educating them on mental health resources,
and collaborating on the creation of workshops and resources. This experience has strengthened my
ability to assess and address the unique needs of students struggling with mental health issues.

Furthermore, my involvement in the Temple University Infant and Child Lab as a Research Assistant
has provided me with research skills and an understanding of child development, which is valuable in a
school social work setting.

Beyond my academic and professional experiences, I am a dedicated and compassionate individual

committed to fostering a supportive and positive environment for students. My work as a dance teacher,
and nanny, and involvement in various leadership roles and extracurricular activities highlight my ability
to connect with individuals of diverse backgrounds and age groups.

I am impressed by [School/Organization Name]'s commitment to [specific values or initiatives

mentioned in the job posting], and I am eager to contribute my skills and enthusiasm to further your
school's mission. I am confident that my background, education, and passion for social work make me a
strong candidate for this position.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my
qualifications align with the needs of [School/Organization Name]. Please find my resume attached for
your reference.

Sincerely,
Natalie Insinna
