I am in my final semester before graduating with a teaching license that is focused on preschool, classroom and in a preschool classroom at Lenoir City Elementary School. Currently I am placed in a kindergarten classroom in Lenoir City. I have worked with children over the last decade as a preschool teacher in the Knoxville Head Start program. During this time, I have come to truly love learning alongside children.
I look to develop my abilities to create a learning environment that is not only engaging to children, but creates meaningful lifelong learning. I look forward to this chance to acquire many skills and knowledge from my internships.Later in life I was given the opportunity to teach young children. It was never my intentional goal “when I grew up”, but it is now my passion. I want to be able to teach children to the best of my ability. I have worked with children in many settings, but by working at Head Start I knew that I wanted to do more than relate my degree to be a teacher there. I have learned that my professional development not only involved me, but I can see the direct reflection of the children in my classrooms.
My hobbies include traveling and reading. I love the opportunity to fly or drive to a new location. It is refreshing to get away from home and out into the world. Being someplace new makes you look at life from a different perspective and makes you appreciate your home life. I also believe that traveling allows you to learn more about yourself and gives you the opportunity to learn more about people that are different from you. Reading also brings the same advantages. Books can allow the reader to really step back from their life and enter a new world. I enjoy taking a break from all the agendas of everyday life to distress by experiencing something new.
