My name is Carly Lorntsen and I am currently in the Bachelor of Education program at the University of Northern British Columbia South-Central Campus. I graduated high school in 2014 and went straight to the College of New Caledonia in Quesnel British Columbia to complete a diploma in Criminology and an Associate of Arts Degree. Since I was a little girl, I always loved learning and going to school. I used to see my teachers in elementary school at their desk marking and getting ready to create report cards and I always thought how I would love to do that. As I got older, I began to love children as well and believed that becoming an educator may be the perfect career for me. My goal is to show children their true potential and giving them the faith and dedication that they need in acknowledging that they can do anything that they set their mind to. Throughout my education journey, I have had the pleasure to meet so many incredible educators from elementary and all the way to college and university. They taught me these skills as well as my amazing parents and I wish to pass this positive thinking on to the next generation in the classroom. I also have a passion for creative writing and wish to write and publish my own book one day. I am so excited for the future and what is to come!
