Hello! My name is Kersten Schmitz, I lived in North Dakota until I was 14 when we moved to Garden City, KS. I currently work at the little Dillon's in Hays shifting between stocking shelves, checking, carrying out, being the front end coordinator, and working in customer service. I am going into education because I love watching people gain knowledge and understanding. Teaching is in my family with my Great grandma, dad, and two cousins teaching or going into teaching. I want to work with high school aged children teaching physical education and health until I get my masters to teach biology and anatomy and physiology. I chose physical education because it was the easiest degree for me to earn because of my Athletic Training major. I love anatomy and physiology and the health fields, so I want to teach those to other people. I think my dad influenced me to teach as well as my Great Grandmother, and my mom influenced me with the health field and my love of anatomy and physiology. Some interesting things about me, I was in Uganda, Africa for two weeks this summer for a medical mission trip and I am engaged and will be getting married in July 2010.
Hey, my name is Mallory Kerns and I am origionally from Naponee, NE. That is for the most part 2 hours north of Hays. I currently live with my husband here in Hays. We have only been married a little over a month. I work at the Hays Area Childrens Center as a workstudy and an afternoon paraeducator. I mainly work with children ages 1 to 3. The area I am interested in teaching is Agriculture, emphasis on Animal Science, to middle and high school students. I started my college career as a pre-vet major. Vet school acceptance did not happen and I just happened to see a sign for Agruclture Education up in the Ag Department in Albertson. This felt right and I always get an excitement when I am helping a classmate study or just talking about something dealing with agruculture, especially when I know information about the subject. I grew up on a farm and agriculture was and will always be a par tof my life, so why not teach it. My teachers in high school always said I would be a good teacher, but I never really took them seriously, till now. The teacher that influenced me the most was probably my high school ag teacher. He was willing to help with anything and help to further create my love for agriculture.
Hello, my name is Alyson Garmatz and I am a native of Denver Colorado. While attending Fort Hays I have completed a Fine Arts degree in Interior Design, and I am now working towards a second degree in Art Education. This is the last class I have to complete before I will student teach in the Spring. Right now I am living in Colorado while I work on this class, coach high school softball, and clean houses. It was a little weird not returning to Hays this Fall, considering I have done it for the past 5 years. At Fort Hays I was a member of the softball team . My decision to go back to school after graduating was influenced by my love of Art and the teachers who had taught me about it. Those teachers all had a direct influence on my life and my passion to teach Art. I have enjoyed all of my Education classes, I look foward to being an educator in the future with hope to influence my students the way I was when I was a student.
Hi, my name is Austin Barnes. I am from Salina, Kansas. I teach music lessons, play gigs and assistant to the head custodian at Malloy hall. I am a music major at Fort Hays and will be student teaching next spring. My music teacher, Quinton Breeze was a huge influence that pushed me to be a music teacher. I love to play the drums and am looking forward to being an influence on today’s young.
Hi, my name is Mallory Joseph. I grew up in Oakley, which is a very small town in Northwest Kansas. I came to Hays on an athletic scholarship, so I competed two years for Fort Hays Cross Country and Track teams. I currently work at Thirsty's brew pub and grill. Thirsty's is a restaurant in Hays where I work as a server and part-time assistant manager. I am currently working on my Bachelor of Science in Business Education. More specifically I would enjoy teaching accounting, economics, and finance, but I would enjoy teaching all classes that are covered under my degree! Many teachers throughout my life have inspired me to become a teacher. For example my high school accounting teacher showed me how fulfilling his job can be at the same time he has all the knowledge needed for the 'business world'. I look forward to inspiring students to become whatever they dream of becoming and showing them all the opportunities they have.
Hello, my name is Rhonda Mulvaney. I am a little slow to posting this because I got confused between this introduction and the introduction to the teacher letter. I apologize. I grew up in my earlier years in Europe. After my Dad had been in the military long enough he decided he wanted to retire in Wichita. We have lived here ever since and I graduated from Derby many years ago. I have a degree in finance from WSU and have been working on my teaching certificate to teach business (preferrably accounting, finance, economics and personal finance)in high school. I am in no rush as I own a mortgage company and a processing center in Wichita. It is something I want to do in the relatively near future and am simply creating the path so I will be able to. My husband is a teacher and I appreciate the difference he gets to make in his student's lives. Having done mortgage lending for 20 years I can see that there is much more financial education needed for our kids. As soon as the state of Kansas gets a curriculum aimed at taking this type of education seriously I want to ready to jump in and be involved. Until they do I want to help stir the pot until they realize the necessity of it. I don't feel like I should make waves until I have the credentials to back it up.
