My NSTA / Peers / Nicolette McWatters

My name is Nicolette McWatters and I am currently at Senior at the University of Houston. I am born and raised in Texas! This past summer I became a newlywed and we are parents to one very spoiled chihuahua. I'm excited to begin my journey as a student teacher this year because I still have so much to learn. When I graduate, I hope to be able to teach Kindergarten through 2nd grade. GO COOGS!
