Megan Brinton
Elementary Education Major
I am a senior majoring in elementary education with a minor in family life. I am from Spanish Fork, Utah and have five siblings. I love portrait photography, country music, being outside, and spending time with family and friends. Being an elementary school teacher has always been my dream. I have worked in various roles with children including preschool, daycare, and substitute teaching. I love seeing children light up when they understand a concept and gain self confidence in their learning. I’m so excited to be a teacher and influence the lives of my students!
Kamora Shelton
Physical Education Teaching/Coaching
I am a sophomore 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.
Lauren Davis
Early Childhood Education Major
I am a junior studying Early Childhood Education. I am from Gilbert, Arizona, and come from a family of five. I love hiking and camping and doing anything outdoors with friends. I have worked at many different daycares and preschools where I have grown a love for teaching young children. My dream is to one day have my own preschool and help my students gain independence and learn through play. I am excited to help share God’s love with His Children in my classrooms.
Dixon Gerber
Elementary Education
I am an elementary education major. I am also minoring in teaching English language learners (TELL) and music and the arts integration. I grew up in the military, but my parents live in Cheney, Washington. I love playing all sports, being outside, playing board games, music, and watching movies. My favorite sport is ultimate frisbee, and I currently play for the BYU CHI ultimate frisbee team. I also write music and plan on using music in my future classroom. I'm excited to be a teacher and make a difference in the lives of my students and their families!
Sarah Wilde
Special Education Major (Severe)
I am a sophomore 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!
