Nicole Hamrick ’27 is passionate about the field of education and plans to help students with physical and mental disabilities in her career. The elementary education major, with a minor in special education, says it’s been her dream to be a teacher since kindergarten.
Bethel’s education program has allowed her to step into the classroom right away, with fieldwork experiences starting her freshman year.
“Being part of the Education Program here at Bethel is preparing me to work in classrooms, create lesson plans and understand the importance of the student-teacher relationship,” she says.
Beyond the classroom, Nicole has been involved on campus as a first-year experience (FYE) mentor and a member of the spiritual life team.
“I have felt the Lord has led me into these different teams to be able to meet new people and share the love and light of Jesus.”
