Vaile Altherr

Hello! My name is Vaile Altherr. I am a rising sophomore at Miami University studying Primary Education with Minors in Finance and Event Planning. I hope to become a 2nd grade teacher when I graduate. I am on the Water Polo team, and am also in a Sorority.  When I am not involved with these extracurriculars, I enjoy scrapbooking and making crafts.   Prior to college, I played soccer and was on a swim team. I provided swim lessons for 2-15 year-olds, and also served as a lifeguard. I am in the process of re-certifying in CPR and First Aid.   I have a lot of fun ideas for craft projects as well as other at-home activities, depending on your children’s interests. I would also love to help your little ones learn how to swim! My junior and senior year of high school I had an internship with my local elementary where I worked with many diverse learners. I have my teaching assistant certification (ParaPro) from this program. I have also spent many years volunteering at my church with toddlers. I am looking forward to continuing to expand my experience with children of all ages as this is my passion. Any additional time I spend with children now will help me become a better teacher and mother one day.
