About ME!

I graduated from Biola University in May of 2009, with a degree in Communication Studies. During my undergrad I played volleyball for my school which has helped me to develop a sense of teamwork. This is key to my teaching in the future because I want my classroom to be seen as a team all working together and I feel as though I have the tools now to progress my students towards a team oriented attitude.
I am currently attending Willamette University, which I will graduate in the Spring of 2010 with my Masters of Arts in Teaching.
I have been around children most of my life and I love working with students. I have such a passion to teach children and see that I can make a difference in their lives. In the past I have worked in a daycare helping out with the children, I have been involved with coaching many children in the sport of volleyball, and I have completed an Introduction to Teaching class at my former school. Here is where I was involved in two different classrooms observing as well as helping the students with problems or answering questions.
I want to teach so that I can help students. I also want to teach because I have a passion for learning and for sharing my knowledge with students. I cannot imagine a better or more rewarding career for myself.
