Skills  
Through my experiences both inside and outside of the classroom I have been able to grow as a teacher and 
learner. Through my K-2 field placements I have observed classroom management strategies first hand and 
practiced important skills such as time management, transition time, and cooperative learning. Through my 
3rd grade field experiences I have been able to focus on reading intervention that is individualized to each 
student. In my experiences studying abroad I have been immersed in other cultures and been able to focus 
on language, communicative, and relational skills; which is something unique I bring into my classroom. 
Finally, as a college student I have had experience in leadership training and management through programs 
such as Greek life and Youth Camp.
