Otter Student Assistant

Hi! My name is Tessa, and I’m so excited to be returning to the 4K Otters classroom for a second semester! I’m a junior studying Communication Sciences and Disorders and getting a certificate in TESOL. I’m from Franklin, Wisconsin (a suburb of Milwaukee). Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, being outdoors, trying new coffee shops, traveling, and spending time with my two dogs, Apollo and June.

After graduation, I hope to become a pediatric speech-language pathologist and work with children and their families. I had such a great experience with the Otters during my first semester, and I’m so excited to be back for another semester of learning, growing, and having fun with everyone!
