Alyssa Moriartey is pursuing her degree in Elementary Education at the University of Michigan Flint where she has made the Dean's List every semester. She has experience as a swim instructor for children ages 6 months to 15 years for the past 5 years and as a nanny for two families with a total of seven children. These experiences made her realize she wanted a career working with children. She believes teachers should allow students to think creatively and appreciate different perspectives rather than focus on single right answers. In her free time, Alyssa enjoys spending time with her close-knit family, especially attending University of Michigan football games and relaxing at their family cabin on a lake.
