What academic experiences have had a major impact on you:
In high school we had a course where we job shadowed in a classroom for the entire quarter. This was a great
eye-opening experience for me and helped me finalize my career decision. The field experiences at UNI also give
early access to classroom experiences. I also plan to do Camp Adventure next summer either overseas or in Hawaii. |
How has your College of Education scholarship created opportunities for you :
Being awarded a scholarship serves as motivation for me to work harder in the classroom and push myself to receive good grades.
The money received helps with tuition bills so I am able to continue my education. |
What would you tell a prospective student who’s considering the UNI teacher education program:
The teacher education program is a wonderful program that boosts confidence in the classroom early on by putting prospective
teachers out in the classrooms to gain knowledge and hands-on skills that are crucial to teaching. I also like the smaller
scale classrooms which allows for professors to be more interactive and personable with their students on a one-to-one basis. |
What are your career plans :
After graduation it would be my dream to take my teaching degree to the East coast, preferably North Carolina,
where I will teach anywhere from infancy to first-graders. |
