Josh Dillinger

What do you do on a day-to-day basis?

I teach drawing, painting and ceramics to students in 9^th-12^th grade.

What was your transition like from being a student to your current career position?

It has taken some adjusting, going from a college schedule to a full-time job schedule is not easy, but ultimately it has been a smooth transition. Post-grad life is tricky, all of the real-world things you have to do can seem to just pile up. But thankfully I was well prepared for my career, so while I am learning a lot about the art of adulting, I am confident in my ability to do my job which meant one less thing I needed to learn.

What do you think set you apart from the other applicants for your current position?

The variety of training I had in all mediums and my willingness to get AP certified made me valuable since here at MVHS I have to teach all the art courses. I also was valuable to a small high school because I had great experience with student activities (such as clubs and organizations), and a background with college recruiting; all of which I developed during my time as a Mav. 

What advice would you give to incoming college students?

Go to class, take every opportunity you can and enjoy it because it goes way to fast!
