My name is Shannon Murray and I am currently attending Willamette University’s MAT program. I graduated from Willamette this past spring and was ready to continue my education right away. I figured my chances weren’t great for getting a job with just a B.A. in psychology right now, so I decided to not take any breaks from school. Next year, I hope to teach in an elementary school, but will also be authorized to teach middle school Language Arts and Social Studies. I’ve actually really enjoyed working with the sixth graders at my practicum these last few weeks so I might be leaning more towards middle school by the end of the experience.
I was born in Spokane, WA and have lived in the Northwest for most of my life. In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors- I love doing anything and everything outside. I also enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, and cooking. I especially like to run, hike, golf, and bike. This past summer, I moved up to Portland and am still getting to know the city. I love it so far, though, and have really appreciated being in a more cosmopolitan area.
