ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Kristen Harrison. I am an elementary education major at the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota. I chose to attend the University of Mary because of its incredible education program as well as the amazing community and countless opportunities it offers. I have always had a passion for working and playing with children. My longtime career as a babysitter and nanny as well as my camp counseling and mission field experiences have propelled me to pursue the field of education. I am so thankful for all that the University of Mary has done to prepare me and help me develop all of the skills that I will need for my career. I hope to instill in my students the love for learning that I have discovered in my many years of being a student. I am so excited to see what adventures lie ahead in my educational career and beyond!
A Snippet of My Life
I am originally from the Suburbs of Chicago. I grew up in a lovely town full of my loving family and friends. Throughout my life I have attended both Catholic Schools and Public Schools in addition to being home-schooled for many years as well! This wide variety of educational experiences has given me unique perspectives on schooling, teaching methods, and curriculum.
