Katie Battazzo
Hello! My name is Katie Battazzo and I am a graduate in Environmental Studies from the University of Utah. Environmental Studies was appealing to me because I saw how all fields of study connected to the issues of environmental degradation today. I have been lucky enough in college to experience a bit of science, mathematics, and humanities. I also played soccer for the University of Utah Women's Soccer Team. I had a lot of fun playing as well as coaching local club teams in the area.
Teaching for me has always been in my blood. I was blessed to grow up with my mother teaching elementary and middle school. She always had this fire and enthusiasm for teaching her students and I have always tried to emulate that. I saw how a great teacher could change how students felt about themselves and learning. I have joined Higher Ground because I believe that it is a great place for students to not only unlock their learning potential but also become dynamic learners. They have the opportunity to combine their passions with their education. This makes their experience much more meaningful and I am excited to facilitate this kind of learning!
