I am 21 years old, and I am a junior attending SUNY Oneonta. I am currently working towards my bachelors degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. I have had a passion for teaching children since I was a child myself. I grew up on a property with a family owned Garden Center on it, and spent my childhood naturally taking the customers' kids under my wing as their parents shopped. Whether I was taking them up back to show them how to feed the chickens, or how to build a fire, I was always proud to teach other children the values and things i've learned from my parents. I am very into the outdoors, as I love hiking, kayaking, playing frisbee, bike riding, etc. I am excited to work with young children one day, and incorporate learning into nature and the great outdoors. I have grown to be very patient with children, and I am very open-minded and accepting of differences. I can be very creative, which helps me relate to and connect with children. I am trustworthy, and I can most defiantly be counted on to be compassionate model and nurturer for children.
