Competency #5 - Professional Behavior

Developing professional behavior at UAS helps students transition to the outside world. Students need to learn to produce quality, timely work because that is what employers need and expect from employees. In addition, having a good attitude and a sense of appropriateness should be learned during college to prepare students for the world beyond it.

I have demonstrated professionalism in not only through my work ethic, but also through the quality of my work. As a theater minor, I worked at Perseverance Theatre, a professional theatre, on many occasions during my college career. I operated the lightboard for a show (which takes extreme focus), for all of my roles on stage I completed research for the play and character, I learned all of my lines, and came to rehearsal warmed up, ready to work, and on time. While employed by this organization I also received credit for some of my projects. Below are references to my professional work. The first is a newsletter I created weekly while interning for their summer children's theatre, among many other tasks, including recruitment and assistant directing the show Children of Eden. The second demonstration of my professional behavior is through photos of a play that I had a lead role in.
