About Me!

 Hello class!

My name is Kate Laurent, and I am from a small town in Washington called Ellensburg. Many people call it the drive-through spot because it is on the way to Seattle, Yakima, and Spokane. I personally love living in a small town and that is mostly why I chose Corvallis for school because it felt like home!

I am getting an education degree! My mom is a first-grade teacher so growing up I spent a lot of time in the classroom helping her. I have always really enjoyed spending time with the kids and helping my mom around the classroom! So naturally I am interested in becoming a first grade or second grade teacher. 

I have many hobbies including, hiking, biking, painting, swimming, etc. But my most frequent hobby is running. I have been running since middle school and I now run here at Oregon State University!

 An interesting fact about myself is that I have a twin brother!
