About

Hello my name is Katie, I am a full time student attending Western Illinois University pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I work part time at a private school for students with various special needs during the week, Petsmart on the weekends, and I do horse chores at a local stable three mornings a week on top of everything else. I have volunteer experience from mission trips I have participated with my church. I love working with children and that is why I chose the career path I am on. As a matter of fact, before I attended college, I worked in my church’s nursery and that is what made me realize that I wanted to work with children as a career.
