- Major: BS Education Social Studies

- Four-year member and Student Manager of Singing Hoosiers,
work at IU Auditorium, and stage management gave me skills in
professionalism, organization, leadership, and musicality, all of
which can play into my educational toolbox.

- Graduated with Honors and Technical Diploma through AP and
dual credit courses. I participated in the National Honors Society,
performed in Show Choir, Madrigals, Comedy Sports, and was
very involved in FFA. I also managed the Football team for 4
years, and worked for the Auditorium, giving me skills in
technology and discipline, which I can translate into the
classroom.

Skills
As an educator, I find my skills center around connecting with my
students, connecting them to me so that I can connect them to the
information. I am not timid or shy in a classroom, and even amongst
students I just met I am unafraid to assert myself and demand respect
while also giving it in return, establishing trust. I can easily over-plan a
lesson, which can be viewed as a skill or a deficit, but I have no issue
cutting material that is unnecessary, and I consider myself flexible in this
way.

Experience
The Project School / Various Teachers
August 2019 – December 2019
At the Project School I engaged with many different classrooms with
differing ages of students, giving me an insight into the K-6 world of
education. This experience was Pre-Covid, and thus was still very uniform
and organized, giving me a view into how teachers organized classrooms
and students and designed lessons to curtail the specific needs of their
students. The Project School is an experimental school where new forms
of curricula are commonly used, and the school also has a sizable class of
students with disabilities, giving me the opportunity to work with those
students and find the best ways to teach for them.

Bloomington North High School / Chris Sturgeon

January 2022 – May 2022
At Bloomington North High School, I was placed in a secondary history
classroom with Chris Sturgeon, where I observed and taught a lesson over
the course of a semester alongside another student observer. This
experience really cemented my love of education and showed me the kind
of day-to-day planning I would need to execute to be able to teach at the
secondary level. Mr. Sturgeon was incredibly flexible and gave us the
opportunity to engage with students as much as we wanted, allowing
relationships to form, and giving me a real taste into how building a
relationship with a student is important to teaching them.
Bedford North Lawrence High School / Lacy Hawkins
August 2022 – December 2022
My final service-learning experience was with Lacy Hawkins at Bedford
North Lawrence High School and was arguably one of the best individual
experiences of my college career. While rather simple and uneventful,
Mrs. Hawkins gave us a lot of freedom, and her conversational lecturing
style allowed me to engage with her and the other students in lectures
while it was happening, something that was incredible to watch and
engage in. I was also able to produce and give two different lessons to two
different classes of students, providing real student work and feedback
which I could use in my teaching experiences.
