Nicole D.

My future career goal is to become a bilingual elementary school teacher, working with diverse student populations and supporting English language learners. I plan to continue my education in an Early Childhood Education, K–6 Bilingual Education program and eventually earn my teaching certification. I am passionate about creating an inclusive and supportive classroom where all students feel represented and valued.

1. To fully immerse myself in a new culture and gain a deeper understanding of different perspectives and ways of life.

2. To strengthen my Spanish language skills through real-world experiences and daily interactions.

3. To grow personally and academically by stepping outside of my comfort zone and gaining experiences that will help me become a more culturally responsive and effective educator.
