Passions<\/span><br \/>\nPrior to her current position as grant coordinator for the Phoenix\/Talent School District, Heather Lowe worked for eight years as an elementary school teacher at Talent Elementary. Heather\u2019s experience in writing grants for Talent Elementary coupled with her reading and ELL endorsements have helped her transition smoothly from teacher to grant coordinator.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Useful Job Skills<\/span><br \/>\nAs a grant coordinator, Heather\u2019s job demands proficiency in writing and research skills along with critical thinking, all of which were fostered within the Sociology program at Â鶹´«Ã½. Strong writing skills are key when writing grants, but also when reading and implementing strict guidelines pertaining to the management of federal and state grants. In terms of research skills, Heather is constantly gathering and entering data from the programs that she manages in addition to using the data to support students and staff members in meaningful ways.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heavy-man\">Key Insight<\/span><br \/>\nFor Heather, the field of sociology is non-prescriptive and fosters an ability to carefully analyze social phenomena while also understanding the various situations that individuals may be in.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style: none;\">\n<li><em>\u201cSo to me, it\u2019s just about understanding and the more you can understand, the more you can relate.

When asked what advice she might give to someone considering pursuing this program, Heather replied:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style: none;\">\n<li><em>\u201cDo it! Pursue that. Do you like people?
