Hey All!
My name is Megan and I am currently enrolled in the full time Willamette MAT program. Life is busy, but great and I can't wait until graduation in May!
I grew up in Silverton, Oregon when it was still a "small town". I went to kindergarten with the same kids I graduated high school with and am still in touch with many of my high school friends. I loved growing up in a small town that was still close to Salem and Portland.
I grew up with one younger brother, who is 7 years younger than me, so I felt like an only child for much of my life.
After high school I went to Oregon State University, knowing that eventually I wanted to go into teaching. As I continued my degree in Early Childhood Devleopment and Education, I did an intership with DHS Child Welfare to gain some experience in the social services field. After graduation, I ended up getting a job with DHS in Marion County.
The 5 years that I spent working at DHS was a real eye opener and changed many things about me. It really helped me grow as a person and realize that I really did want to teach. Finally, the time was right, and here I am!
I am very excited to be back in school, and in the elementary classroom. I am ready to have my own classroom and get started on my new career!
