My name is Ali Maeser. I am currently a senior at Drake University. My goal is to get my degree in Elementary Education with an endorsement in reading. My grade preference seems to change with every practicum experience I have. Anything from kindergarten to 4th grade would be great for me. I have a soft spot for first and second graders the most though. I was the captain and president of the Drake dance club my junior year and am an active member of Alpha Phi sorority. Although I was born and raised a Minnesotan, I’ve lived in Iowa for 4 years. It’s a struggle for where I am going to go after I graduate this spring, but I believe now that I can call both places home. Growing up with two younger brothers and a slew of cousins (27 in all), I’ve always been a teacher in one way or another. It is now time to make it into my carrier, and I couldn’t be happier.
Our team name is Pike. This is after the scientist Rachel Pike. The reason I believe our team name has been named after her is for her bold moves in the science world. After some research on some of her studies, I have a lot of respect for her. Nothing holds her back, especially being a woman scientist! Her innovated techniques help show us what science really is and how it should be taught in our classrooms.
