Let the Journey Begin

My journey to becoming a high school math teacher has been shaped by experiences and guidance. Initially drawn to teaching kindergarten, insights from teachers like Meghan Ferraco and interviews with Mrs. Cassidy clarified my passion for mathematics. After researching colleges, I chose Keene State for its welcoming environment and small class sizes. With a plan to fund my education through scholarships and loans, I've learned about the requirements for my major in Secondary Education for Mathematics. Now, I’m excited to embark on this new chapter of my educational journey!
