My name is Cami Fink, and I am very excited about being a part of the dynamic Spring 2013 cohort at Seattle University for the Master in Teaching program. I am looking forward to becoming a middle school teacher in Language Arts and Humanities, and discovering interesting ways to connect student’s learning to the world around them. I view becoming an educator as a culmination of my community service and volunteer work. My work with children began as a mentor and has evolved into becoming a community organizer for schools and a leader in mentoring organizations.

Being active is very important to me. I practice yoga, run, bike, rollerblade, and hike, to name a few. I am also a voracious reader and love to write stories. Along with teaching, my dream is to complete and publish a collection of short stories and maybe even a novel. My goal is to write at least one story as hauntingly amazing as one of Alice Munro’s. If you'd like to find out more about one of my favorite authors, check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Munro.

Two important values I want to instill in my future students is that their voice matters, and that they have the power to impact the world around them.
