About Me
My name is Katie Jenkins and I am a graduate student at Auburn University. I received my BS in elementary education with a minor in human development and family studies in May of 2017. I live in the area and am proud to call Auburn my home. I have a passion for education and am excited to begin my career as a teacher to instill this same passion in my students and equip them for the world they live in.
Goals
My overall career goal is to be a teacher. I hope that after attending Auburn University, I will be able to impact the lives of children just as my teachers have impacted me. I want to transform my passion into my profession and bring the family-like atmosphere of Auburn into a classroom of my own as I am given the opportunity to influence kids and provide them with necessary tools and skills for their future.
Short term Goals:
-
graduate from Auburn University with an MED in Teaching English as a Second Language (ESOL)
Long-term Goals:
-
Get a job in a school district teaching in an elementary classroom.
-
Develop relationships with colleagues, families, and students in the area in which I teach and make an impact in the community through the lives of my students.
