About The Author
Bridget is a native of the Peoria, IL, area but has been largely based in Champaign since her undergrad career began. She graduated from the College of Education in 2010, and has spent the following years teaching varying ages spanning both elementary and junior high school. While teaching, she returned to the University of Illinois to earn a degree in Educational Policy, Organization, and Leadership (basically educational administration) in 2013 and in 2014 added the Library Science program in order to also gain her Library Information Science endorsement. She graduated with her additional endorsement and master’s degree in 2015.
She has previously taken part in a smaller National Writing Project summer seminar in 2011, and is excited to participate in a second, different program through a branch of the same group. Outside of her education, enjoys spending time with friends and family, seeing movies, reading and writing, game nights, and wrangling her mini zoo of animals. She hopes to get a good handle on the novel she has been wanting to write for ages this summer. |
