Tiffany Robbins

Hello, everyone! My name is Tiffany Robbins. I first knew I wanted to work with children when I was five years old playing "teacher" with my stuffed animals. That continued until middle school, and then babysitting became my job for the next ten years. Over the last ten years, my passion for children has grown tremendously. I've nannied, interned with foster youth and interned at a preschool. Through these experiences, I learned that working with children is the path for me. Their youth and innocence inspires me to love my life everyday and find joy in every thing I do. After I graduate this spring, I will be moving back home. My ultimate goal is to go back to school and earn a Masters degree to work with at-risk children or work in behavior therapy. I want to show each child they are loved and cared for and have the potential to achieve anything they aspire to do.

Hi! I'm Natalie Hendricks. I am a Child Development major at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, as well. I have always known that I wanted to work with children, and have loved my time spent in the program at Cal Poly, working towards this dream. I have been teaching preschool for the past 2 and a half years, and I have really enjoyed my job. I am excited to continue my career in working with children. After graduation from Cal Poly, I hope to continue my education and pursue a Master's degree in Teaching with a multisubject credential, as well as a credential to teach elementary special education. I absolutely love working with children and am excited to see what the future holds!

Elisabeth Jee

Hi! My name is Elisabeth Jee. Growing up, I always thought that I was going to be an engineer like my dad, which is what drew me to Cal Poly. Then, my senior year of high school, I volunteered as a TA in a 6th grade classroom and fell in love with teaching. In the end, I followed my mother's footsteps and decided I wanted to be an elementary school teacher. Cal Poly has provided me with many opportunities to "Learn by Doing." I've had internships working at the SLO Children's Museum and Pacheco Elementary School. Following my graduation, I will be going abroad for a semester to work with children on military bases. Upon my return, I hope to get into the credential program and finally fulfill my dream of teaching elementary school children. I believe that children are our future and it's our job to educate them and prepare them to reach whatever dreams they hope to achieve.
