Special thanks: I would like to thank my family as well as the professors I have had here at UMaine. I would like to especially thank Karen Robbie for guiding me through student teaching, as well as my two mentor teachers, Connie Breau and Amy Hanson.
Favorite UMaine memory: I think my favorite memories at UMaine were the different experiences I have had working with children. This includes working at the infant/toddler program at The Children’s Center, mentoring through Black Bear Mentors, and my student teaching experience.
