From Our Former Students

“One of the things that set this program apart is that it is located within the Teaching, Learning & Culture Department at Texas A&M. There’s more to teaching than just delivering a curriculum or instructional strategy; we have to consider the influence that culture has one what we do.”

Kirstin Spence

Kirstin Spence

Howdy! My name is Kirstin Spence, I am a senior and my major is Special Education. My plan after I graduate in December is to become a teacher in a self-contained classroom. I want to teach for several years, before continuing my education and getting my PhD in educational policy. I am currently a student teacher and have a residency with CSISD. 

When I am not in school I enjoy reading, swimming, having stay-cations in Houston, and cuddling with my cats! I love to go to new boutiques, do escape-room, and to play any and all games!

I am from Fenton, Michigan and I have been in Texas for 3 years. I moved here to get away from the cold and knew I had to finish school, so I came to Texas A&M. I fell in love with Texas A&M and the education department. I am so excited to get the opportunity to be a UMPT for my last semester at TAMU! I am here to help y’all with anything you need during this semester, it’s going to be an amazing semester!
