A Small Campus Allows for Students to Be Involved
Special education was significant to Gabby.
“I really like working with students who have special needs because you get to focus on their strengths, and you get to help them find new ones,” she explained. “You get to integrate them into a school, and you get to help them thrive.”
Gabby expects her psychology and music minors will assist her in her teaching role. “I added psychology because I think it’s important to know developmentally where kids are,” she said. “I really enjoyed my child psychology class, which inspired me to go deeper into psychology to understand how students function as well as how the rest of the world functions.”
While she tried to absorb all the knowledge about becoming an educator, Gabby also became heavily involved in activities on campus at CSM.
