WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AS A STUDENT? Learning was hard for me. In elementary school I had to seek help in reading and math. In middle school and high school I was just an average student. My high school guidance counselor recommended that I attend a smaller college so I would receive extra attention and support. His advice led me to Ripon College where I learned to love literature and to enjoy learning about learning. I graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's degree. I majored in Regular Elementary Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education (licensed birth to 6th grade) and an additional minor in English. I later attended Cardinal Stritch University and completed 18 of 32 credits towards a masters in English as a Second Language and as a Reading Specialist. Now I love to learn and I especially love researching how children learn.
