Currently, I am studying Elementary Education and History with hopes to minor in Spanish as well. I've been a part of classroom environments since I was 13, beginning my experience in a toddler classroom as a volunteer for ages 16 months to 3 years. As I got older, my love for teaching grew and I began to work in summer school classrooms! For two summers I had the amazing opportunity to be a part of a 5th grade summer school classroom. Within the classroom, I helped the head teacher with lessons and guided reading, writing, and math activities. I'm definitely a big fan of interactive activities and learning like Kahoot or Jeopardy! I also spent a summer as a camp counselor and I found my passion for arts and crafts. From construction paper to glitter, I love getting creative and having fun with it. This past summer, I worked as a part of an amazing program and spent my summer connecting and teaching within a second grade classroom alongside two other amazing teachers! Like the 5th grade classroom, my focus was mainly on helping build lesson plans and working both individually and in groups with our students. Teaching is something I absolutely love and it has always been a passion of mine. I love it as not only do I get to help learn, but I'm also learning so much from you! As a future teacher, I want to make learning environments personal and fun. Growing up I always learned the most when teachers made lessons colorful and fun, which is something that I want to carry on. I believe that a classroom should be an environment of cohesive fun and learning. I hope that through my own effort and teaching, I myself can show our future generations how amazing they are and how they can achieve anything they put their minds to!

I absolutely love to cook and bake, especially any type of cookies! When I'm not in the kitchen, you can usually find me on the couch watching any tv show or movie. I really love comedy, sci-fi, and reality tv, but I'm always down to watch anything! Getting active is something I also love, whether it be for myself or my community. I go on walks often and love getting involved in my community, through community service opportunities like food drives or fundraisers.
