Professional Bio Statement

Mitch Wertheimer
mewertheimer@fortlewis.edu or mitchwertheimer@gmail.com
Currently I am a student enrolled within the Teacher Education Department at Fort Lewis College in
Durango, CO. I am currently pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Secondary Education with an
emphasis in Mathematics. I have completed over 150 field study hours through out the
various middle schools all over town. I have worked in 6th-8th grade classes but may
branch out in to high school some day. I have worked with Upward Bound the last two
summers to further my teaching experience and be a role model for the students that are
involved in the program.
I am a very organized, detailed orientated, and focused in both my professional and personal life. I take
education very seriously, and am motivated to become the best Mathematics teacher and overall
individual I can be. I work well in both group and individual tasks and enjoy a challenge. In addition, I am
very task orientated and willing to do whatever is asked, needs to be done, or is essential to achieve
success. All in all, I am able to work quickly and efficiently, and am flexible enough to work effectively
and productively in any situation that arises.
