Who Am I?
My name is Ashley Becker and I grew up on a dairy, beef, and grain farm in New Salem, ND. I am currently pursing a degree in Mathematics Education with a Middle School Endorsement. Over the years, I have come to enjoy math more and more. Studying mathematics has taught me to learn to think critically and to use see what we are given and to continue to think of what we can do with what we are given. I believe that learning mathematics helps us to learn how to think clearly and seek truth. In life, we encounter many situations where there seems to be no one right answer and math is a place were we come to know that there can be a right answer, but it is not always as explicit in life. I enjoy learning and having the opportunity to inspire others to learn!
I love to spend time with family and friends. Growing up on a farm instilled in me the importance of a family that lives and works well together. It is also very important to me to build a community with those around me whether that would be with friends or at work. I believe it is so important to surround myself with people who support me and who I can support. I also enjoy playing pinochle, reading, playing piano, and traveling! I studied abroad for a semester in Rome my sophomore year of college. During this time I was able to visit 7 different countries! |
