Mackenzi Veilluex always had an interest in education, but her small-classroom experience at Thomas College solidified her decision to become a teacher.

I was given the opportunity to co-teach my first lesson with two other pre-service teachers during my STEAM class with Dr. Biffle. This early exposure to working hands-on with students solidified that this was what I was meant to do.
