About
I am currently studying Early Childhood Education, and minoring in Business Administration, at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois. My freshman year in high school I started working in an in-home daycare and I fell in love with that type of work. In my senior year in high school I took an ECE class that allowed me to work in a preschool class. In this class I learned what all it took to be an educator of young minds. Over the year my passion and love fpr teaching grew. Then I found NIU, a university that was built on education and close to home.
