What academic experiences have had a major impact on you?
While attending high school i was able to take a class called Introduction to Education and i was able experience hands on activities, like giving my own lesson to a kindergarten class and working with children. Because of these experience it's allowed me to think over becoming a teacher and still makes me excited to become one. |

What are your career plans?
My future plans are to graduate from UNI with a degree in Elementary Education. I plan on moving back to my hometown area to teach, whether it be in West Des Moines or a suburb around this area. I will be teaching either 1st or 2nd grade and working on getting my masters. |
