ABOUT

As a senior elementary education major at

the University of Arizona I have a passion for
working with children as well as being
involved in a team environment. In January
2016 I will begin student teaching in a first
grade classroom. I am excited to begin this
final phase of my undergraduate career.
Over the years I have gained experience
with groups of children ages four to twelve
in various settings such as; summer camp,
public schools, after school programs, and
others. In addition, as a member of the Pi
Beta Phi sorority I have learned the value of
philanthropic activities and the importance
of personally representing a brand. I believe
in a positive attitude and inspiring people to
be their best!
