Austin college student

Tristan R.

I am a student at Austin college in the Austin college teaching program to get my masters in education, as I am majoring in art, and minoring in Environmental studies and education. I have experience teaching and tutoring children as I have worked in the PALS program and student taught for two years in high school and mentor in college. I love building a bond with students that they can have another adult to lean on when they don't have family or friend they are comfortable coming to, as well as watching a young student grow throughout the years. have had a passion for education and influencing children since I was young and I have been pursing the dream since. As well attending Austin college I am earning a liberal arts degree where though I may have specific majors and minors I have broad experience in all classes since I have to take many credits in all fields.

Art has been in my blood for a long time. My grandpa, dad, older sibling, and I all have had a career in the art field and or are pursuing in it now. I my self enjoy working in all mediums paint, pencil, clay, pastel, ink and more. I have my own custom shoe, clothing, and canvas business where I hand paint shoes, clothes canvas and murals. I have grown up raising a brother 14 years younger than me so I have hands on experience besides student teaching where I can help with all the things I have learned as well as what the teachers teach.

I grew up playing sports and soccer specifically.Growing up fitness has always been important and soccer was one of the top priorities in that. Through extensive years of soccer I was offered to play college soccer and continue my education at Austin college. I have coached soccer in my free time for many years to teams between 6 and 19 where I have learned to work with kids of all ages.

As many have the goal to expand their education I have the passion to assist in that. If you have any questions please reach out to 2149016442
