__**Welcome to my EDT 3010 Portfolio **__ 

My name is Katie Hjellum and I am a post-bacc in the secondary education teaching licensure program at Metropolitan State College. I received my Bachelors degree in English-Literature from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Upon completion of the teaching licensure program, I plan to get my Masters degree in Education. I have chosen to become a teacher because I believe strongly in higher education as I want my students to be prepared for college and develop a desire to want to learn. More than anything, I will strive to be an influential teacher, one who forces my students to find the true meaning of "individuality" in an educational and meaningful manner.

Aside from my studies, I am a nanny for three little girls in Highlands Ranch, CO. My interests include the mountains, anything outdoors, running, my dogs, my family, friends and boyfriend, Rockies games, traveling and lazy days watching TV.
