College Education: Majoring in Elementary Education with a minor in Spanish

I am currently a sophomore at Purdue. I have known that I’ve wanted to be a teacher since I was in kindergarten myself, so I am very excited to finally be pursuing my dream! My sister graduated from Purdue in 2015 with a degree in Chemical Engineering and when she graduated, she graciously passed her position at the Office of Future Engineers to me. It has been an incredible experience to work for this office and to be surrounded by engineers and people in other majors that think and see the world from a whole different perspective than I do.

Traveling is one of my passions and I have been blessed to have traveled to El Salvador and Ecuador and to have studied abroad in Madrid, Spain for 6 weeks this past summer. I love learning about and experiencing other cultures and I believe traveling is the best way to accomplish that.

On campus I also TA a biology class for elementary education majors. I am involved in Campus House and Campus Outreach ministries. Last semester I was involved in College Mentors for Kids (CMFK) and was paired with a second grade buddy who brightened my day each week! Next semester I hope to return to CMFK granted scheduling works out. In my free time I like to paint, craft, spend time with friends and family, and soak up the sun rays.
