Nikki Bennett knew since her early teens that she wanted to work with children as an educator. Since then, she has been driven by her University of Oregon peers to work hard in her undergraduate studies to make this dream a reality. Nikki strongly believes that access to a quality education should be a right and in the power of education to help transform a student’s future across all backgrounds. One of the ways Nikki has been working to achieve this dream is by studying Spanish since the seventh grade so that she may be able to better communicate with ESL students and parents alike.

Nikki hopes that her values of kindness, honesty, and open-mindedness create a culture of motivation and curiosity within her classroom. Additionally, Nikki hopes that her students discover within themselves innovation, enthusiasm for learning, and creativity to help form a better future for all students of all backgrounds.
