Hi, I am Jennifer Lemery and am currently a senior at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. My major is Elementary Education Pre K-6. My love for teaching comes from working with the kids, and having the opportunity to make a difference. I have worked in the Summer Fun Club and After School Program at the YMCA the past three years and have done many volunteer opportunities including The Golden House and Special Olympics. I am originally from Denmark, WI and in my free time I enjoy being outdoors and hanging out with friends. When I graduate I hope to find a job outside of Wisconsin teaching either first, second or third grade.

I believe our team name is Pike because Rachel Pike is a scientist who is not willing to give up. From the video you can tell she really enjoys doing research and is passionate about what she does. As future educators it is important that we have good role models to learn from. After seeing Rachel be so passionate about her subject it made me want to know more. It is important as teachers to really care and understand the subjects we are teaching so every child has the opportunity to learn.
