My NSTA / Peers / Rachael Niehus

My name Rachael Niehus and I am currently a senior at the University of Northern Iowa. I am an Elementary Education Major with a minor in Literacy and an endorsement in K-8 Reading. I enjoy hiking, painting, and spending time with my family and friends. Through this membership and learning center I hope to learn and gain more scientific knowledge and content that I will later be able to use to help me teach science.
