Hayley Diehl
-Howdy! My name is Hayley, and I am a sophomore EC-6 Generalist Education major at Texas A&M University! After graduating with my Bachelor’s degree, I plan on pursuing an online Master’s degree while beginning my teaching career. While I do not yet know what grade would be ideal to teach, I am currently planning on teaching anywhere from kindergarten to third grade. I have had experience as a Christian summer camp counselor, VBS leader, and Sunday School teacher and have observed many public classrooms.
I am from Spring, Texas, and I completed my high school education at Klein Collins High School. While attending Klein Collins, I was involved in my school’s drumline, which provided me with a total of ten years of experience in percussion. When not playing or listening to music, I can be found spending time with family and friends (and pets!), taking walks around campus, and letting out my creativity through drawing and painting!
This is my first semester as a UPMT (University Peer Mentor – Technology), and I am beyond excited to help with any questions and concerns that arise. Feel free to reach out at any time! Cheers to a busy and bright fall semester!
