As I am the person to have put together this website, I feel it would make sense to give you a little bit of background information about myself. I am currently a rising senior at UNC Charlotte majoring in Elementary Education. Since the spring of 2013, I have worked as an after school program counselor for the YMCA of Greater Charlotte; I also worked one semester in our before school program at the YMCA.Since 2013, I have even worked 3 summers in YMCA summer camps, 1 of which was in a traditional day camp at the Y, and the other 2 were in a summer reading enrichment program through the Y's community development department. As a part of my teacher education program, I also have done clinical and field experience out in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools doing observations, teaching lessons, and working with students in the classroom. I have been in grades K, 1, 2, and 4 during clinical experience. Since January of 2015, I have also been working as a substitute teacher in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools, and I have been in all grades at the elementary level, K-5. Through those professional experiences, you could say that I have had a significant amount of time of working with a wide range of children in different settings, in school, before school, after school, and during the summer when school is out.
