Rachel O'Malley
Elementary Education Major
I am a junior majoring in Elementary Education. Growing up in Lake Stevens, Washington influenced my love for the outdoors. You can find me hiking, painting, running, or eating frozen yogurt. I have loved working with children as a tutor, a coach, a counselor, and a volunteer. I hope to advocate for students who face challenges and create a classroom where students feel empowered. The impact a teacher can have on a child's life is profound, and it is this potential to make a difference that inspires me to become a teacher.
Kamora Shelton
Physical Education Teaching/Coaching
I am a senior studying Physical Education Teaching and Coaching. I am from all over, but I claim Georgia as home. I love to hang out with friends, play sports and create art. A few of my favorite sports are pole vault, gymnastics, ultimate frisbee and rock climbing. I want to be a PE teacher and a coach, because I love helping others learn how to stay healthy and physically active.
Sarah Wilde
Special Education Major (Severe)
I am a junior majoring in Special Education with minors in TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) and Psychology. I am from Tremonton, Utah and have five younger siblings. I love the arts, but I especially love music. I love working with kids and have interned, worked, and subbed as various roles in the classroom. I look forward to having a classroom of my own and helping my future students to find their own ways of learning and growing!
