Get to Know ECE Student Ambassador Mikaela!

Hello everyone!! My name is Mikaela Campbell and I am a Sophomore studying Early Childhood Education. My teaching journey started in a preschool class that I took in high school and the love I have for teaching has expanded greatly since then. I love being around young children and am fascinated to see how they learn, grow, play, and develop. It brings me so much joy to know that I can play an influential part in someone's life, especially at such a young age when there is the most opportunity for growth!

I am from a small town in Utah called Stansbury Park. I took a break from school to serve my mission in Lubbock Texas, which helped deepen my desire to teach as I taught the gospel of Jesus Christ to people of all ages! I'm happy to be back and continue with my classes here at BYU! I have two amazing younger brothers and I love spending time with my family, friends, and my dog Wall-E! Along with fellow Utahns, I also crave being in the mountains on a regular basis. When I’m not enjoying nature, I eagerly pick up a good book, bake, or go to a BYU football game.

Because I am a declared Early Childhood Education major, I am planning on teaching first and second graders. I am also minoring in TESOL K-12 so I can be able to have that positive influence on students of all ages if the opportunity arises. Teaching brings me joy, little can top the wonder in a child's eyes as they learn about the world or the smile they give when they feel valued, those moments are priceless!
