My name is Michaela Widmer and I am an aspiring high school or middle school English teacher. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from The Ohio State University in May of 2025 with a Bachelor's Degree in Integrated Language Arts and I am currently employed as a substitute in Upper St. Clair School District.

As an aspiring teacher, I strive to create a classroom environment where my students will feel safe to learn not only the class content, but learn about themselves as people as well. I will use my opportunity to teach to ensure that students are meeting content standards through engaging and research supported strategies, while seeing themselves and their identities reflected in the materials. Additionally, I believe strongly in hands-on and project based learning. Outside of school, I enjoy hiking, theatre, reading, watching Pittsburgh sports with my family and friends, attending concerts, and traveling.
