Current Senior at the University of Sioux Falls looking to become a first year teacher once I graduate. I am in the process of student teaching, and at the end of that experience, I will have fulfilled all of the requirements to graduate in December of 2024. The degrees that I am obtaining at the University of Sioux Falls include secondary education and History and Political Science. Through my time working at multiple part time jobs, student teaching, and coaching basketball, I am proud of the accountability I have shown at all of my jobs and ability to adapt no matter what is asked of me. During my student teaching, I have displayed a strong ability to build quality relationships with students, where I show care and understanding, yet am able to be firm to push students to meet the expectations fellow teachers and I have of them. On top of relationship building, I believe I am strong at creating a positive and safe classroom environment, and helping students make positive growth as students and human beings.
