All About Me

My name is Nicole Faele. I was born on February 4th, 1994. That makes me 23 years old. I have brown hair and hazel eyes. A fun fact about me is that all but two members of my family (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents) have hazel colored eyes. I have one sister who is 26 years old.  I am from a sizable family. I have 11 cousins on both sides on my family. I went to college to complete my undergraduate degree at SUNY Cortland where I studied Childhood Education. I graduated in December of 2016. This makes me a certified teacher for grades 1-6. Teaching is my passion. My second grade teacher inspired me to become a teacher and from age 8 it has always been my dream. I am now currently teaching and in my opinion it is the best job. I am now enrolled in the TESOL Graduate Program at Molloy College. I became interested in TESOL during my student teaching. I was placed in two different English as a New Language Classes. Having over twenty ENL students in my classes opened my eyes to something new and challenging in education. I am hardworking, passionate, fun, creative and always looking for adventure. I hope to bring these assets into my classroom to become the best teacher I could be.
