About Me

Hi! My name is Kasey and I am a third year student at University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh. I am currently going for my bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education – English and start my clinical program next week! I am from De Pere Wisconsin but moved here from Florida when I was ten. I grew up with a younger brother and two rambunctious dogs. Growing up I would read anything I could get my hands on and liked working with people and making a difference in how people perceive language arts which is what helped me decide to become a teacher. My goal is to teach English in either an upper level middle school or lower level high school classroom setting. Like I said earlier I love to read but lately I haven’t had a ton of time to read anything besides assignments for classes. However, in the little free time I actually I have been trying to catch up on some young adult novels. I recently finished Wonder by R.J. Palacio and it was absolutely phenomenal, I would highly recommend it. It speaks about differences and how they affect not just one person but every single member of the community as well as addresses the stigma that comes along with being different.
