This is my first official semester at UWF! I received my Associate in Arts degree at Pasco-Hernando State College and then moved to Pensacola. My current major is the Biology Teach program and hopefully one day I will be teaching high school biology or another type of science class. Those can include marine biology, anatomy and physiology, or earth and space science. Things that I do outside of school can include taking care of my puppy and cat, going to the beach, and playing video games.

Hi everyone! I am Karly Ferguson, a teacher/administrator at a private school in Tallahassee. I am taking this class as a non-degree seeking student to earn credit to renew my educator's certificate.  I earned my B.S. in Elementary Education in 2013 from Florida State University, and since then I have taught 5th grade, taught high school English, and worked in administration for various grade levels at my K2-12 private school. I am currently working with our English/Language Arts teachers for middle and high school level classes and am hoping to pick up some strategies I can use to help my teachers while in this class (and of course add to my own skill set).

Outside of school/work, I enjoy spending time with my family.  My husband and I have been married for 10 years and have a 4-year-old son and almost-2-year-old daughter who keep us very busy. ;) I also love to run & read. It's been especially fun this year watching our son learn some foundational skills for reading & writing.

Hi! I am a senior English major at UWF. I am currently planning on getting a Master of Information Science after I finish my bachelor's degree so that I can be a librarian. I am taking this class because I think it might be helpful for a future in a school library. Teaching high school English is another option I am interested in and may utilize if graduate school doesn't work out; I'm still not entirely sure what I want to do with my life yet.
As every English major likely does, I enjoy reading outside of school. I also like going to local concerts, playing Animal Crossing, and drawing.

Hello! My name is Elle LaRue and I am currently a senior with a major in English/Language Arts. This is my last class I need in order to graduate. (I walked the stage last week!)

Meanwhile, my second job has been a substitute teacher for Santa Rosa County for the past 4 years. My goal is to be a middle school English teacher for one of the Santa Rosa County schools.

Hello! My name is Kelsey Jacobson. I am a junior at UWF working towards a major in English, and a minor in Education. My future goal is become a professor and teach literature at a college level. However, I plan to teach high school while I earn my graduate degree. My passion is American Literature, and I would love to teach it. I would like to get my certification to become an AP teacher as well. I am hoping that AP teaching will help me to bridge the gap between a high school classroom and a college one. Besides reading, my hobbies are all things outdoors, and weight lifting. I am so excited for the summer and will be taking full advantage of the warm outdoor weather!

My name is Chasity Horton. Originally I was born in Florida, but in seventh grade I moved to Mississippi. There, I was able to obtain not only my high school degree but my associates degree at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. I am currently a junior at UWF. My major is English creative writing and my minor is secondary education. I hope while I am teaching English, I am also capable of coaching the swim team at my school. I swam all through high school. It has become a passion of mine. Since I work and go to school, I do not have much time to go to the swimming pool to get a good workout in. I like to watch TV; whether it is Hulu, Disney Plus, Netflix, or Amazon Prime. If I find something interesting enough, I will sit there and watch it, while my mind drifts off into "duh" mode.

Hello, all! My name is Jurnee French, and I've lived in the rural town of Baker, Florida for almost 15 years now; before that, though, I lived in upstate New York! I'll be graduating this upcoming fall. I'm an English Liberal Arts major with an Education minor, hoping to someday teach English as a Foreign Language. However, as long as I am teaching English, I'll be happy! I think I'm making a good start toward my goals by working in the Writing Lab on campus and tutoring middle/high school students at PSC, though I do more math-related tutoring and can tutor as high as Pre-Calculus. I love to read and write, and many of my friends have started getting together to challenge ourselves with timed writing prompts, which are extremely helpful and fun!

Good luck to everyone this semester!

Hiya! My name is Elena, I am going to be a senior at UWF in fall 2022, and I will be student teaching in the Spring of 2023. I am an instrumental music major and I play the flute. I am extremely passionate about music, specifically high school level band, not just for the level of music that is being taught but for the students' musical level as well. I plan on being a high school band director, and possibly going to graduate school either for conducting or music education after I teach for a few years. Most of my time is spent going to recitals, practicing, and rehearsals, but when I'm free I enjoy going out to eat with my friends and watching movies.

Hi! I go by Izzy, and I grew up in the Niceville FL area. I have been singing in choirs since I was a child in both casual community groups and formal, auditioned groups. I am a mostly self-taught keyboardist as well, and play and sing for commercial bands and churches. I have played in jazz bands and festivals and love every opportunity to expand to different styles and genres. As a side note, I am a huge cat person and have one cat.

I attended Niceville High, and NWFSC before attending UWF. There is much I am hoping to do over my career: Teach voice lessons, learn to play organ, develop more piano training, direct choirs in a middle and high school setting, and continue to perform commercially. So far in teaching, my few experiences with teaching voice lessons have been some of my greatest joys.
