Proudest Moment: Being selected as a sophomore medalist
The first thing to know about me is that I hate writing bios. :-) I'm originally from just north of San Francisco, but have made Seattle my home away from home. I decided in the third grade that I wanted to be a teacher and have been on that pathway ever since, so naturally I majored in Early Childhood and Family Studies. In college I've been involved at a variety of places around campus, including as a Peer Adviser, Peer Educator, Tutor-Mentor, Peer Mentor, and Housing Tour Guide. The Honors program has played a big part of my college career, connecting me with many of these opportunities, as well as some of my close friends and mentors. One of my proudest moments (as you can see below), was being awarded the Sophomore medal for high scholarship. I was so honored to be chosen and grateful to those who helped me get there. What's next for me? I'll be sticking around the UW to earn my Masters in Teaching for Elementary Education and can't wait to have a classroom of my own.
