Hello! My name is Maria Effinger and I am a 20 year old undergraduate student at the University of Misssouri. I am currently pursing a degree in Elementary Education and I am a pre-service teacher in the College of Education at MU. There is truly nothing I love more than molding and encouraging children to become the happy successful people they are destined to be. Everyday I am learning more about how I can be a better teacher for my future students and I am so incredibly excited for everything to come!
