About+Me

My name is Alexandra Rockwell. I am currently a freshman Middle Level Mathematics Education major. I graduated from Athens Area High School in 2010. In high school I was highly involved in the music and theater department. I played flute, clarinet, and mallet percussion for the Athens Area Marching Wildcats as well as the concert band. I also sang in the concert choir and show choir. I was cast two leading roles in the two years I was involved in the drama department, and also designed and constructed the set for my third show. I was also involved in National Honor Society and graduated in the Top 10 of my class.

I didn't know I wanted to be a math education major until my senior year in high school. There was a boy in my Calculus course who needed some extra help. My teacher asked me if I would be interested in tutoring him after school. I agreed and fell in love with teaching other students this subject that I love. I have also been a camp counselor at Athens School District's Summer Leadership Institute for three summers. This camp is for students entering the eighth grade. The camp teaches students different aspects of leadership and how they can be a leader as they move into middle school. Spending three summers with this age group is what got me to realize that this is the age group I want to teach for my career.
