About

Hi! My name is Emily McKenzie and I am a current senior at Middle Tennessee State University. I am aspiring to be a K-5 educator. I chose a major in Elementary Education because I love the space that I get to create with my students. I treasurethe amazing, life changing, and memorable experiences that space, and my students do as well. In my free time, I love to sing, cook new recipes, travel and continue to learn Spanish. I have studied Spanish, academically, for a total of 5 years and I still have a ways to go. As you can tell, I aspire to be bilingual. Eventually, I would love to work for a non-profit and help children and adults receive or further their education.
