Hello! My name is Ashlee O'Dwyer and I am a student teacher in your child's sixth grade class this year. I am a senior at Western Carolina University majoring in Inclusive Education. I will graduate in May 2020 with my Bachelor of Science in Education. I am from Cashiers, North Carolina, but I have spent a lot of time in Rosman! I played travel basketball for the TC Starzz while I was in high school and I am also a tutor for a student at Rosman Elementary. I am so excited to be working with your student and the teachers at Rosman Middle this year!

It has taken me years to understand the "why" behind my "what". My "what" is teaching and I have known that since my sophomore year of high school. Being in the College of Education at WCU has helped me to understand and develop my "why".

My "why" is that I want to influence my students in the wonderful, positive ways that my teachers did. My "why" is that students need teachers who will be an advocate for them, who will love them, and who will make them feel safe.

My "why" is your child and their future.

If you need to get in touch with me, you can do so through my host teachers!
