Summary
My goal is to become an lower elementary school teacher in a rural community near La Grande and Hermiston. It's definitely important for me to stay in Oregon and near where I grew up. I am passionate about providing quality education and being part of a support system for my future students. I aim to create a supportive and engaging learning atmosphere that promotes academic excellence and emotional well-being among students, contributing positively to the community's growth and development. I want to make meaningful connections with students as well as parents, other staff, and faculty.
