Emily Bystry

Jacksonville, Illinois

Hello! My name is Emily Bystry and I am currently majoring in Elementary Education with an Endorsement in Social Studies and minoring in Spanish at Illinois College.

After I finish school at Illinois College I plan on continuing my education and receiving my masters in Special Education. Eventually, I would idealy love to teach a 2nd-4th grade Special Education class in a school of need.

I play basketball and run track at Illinois College as well as being a lifeguard at the Jacksonville Country Club and a scholar at the Golden Apple Scholar Foundation during the summer time.

I attended Routt Catholic High School where I was a member of the National Honor Society, volleyball, swimming, cheerleading, and track teams, and also I was a captain of the basketball team.

In my spare time I love to read novels and workout out. I especially love to run. Some of my favorite authors include Jodi Picoult, Barbra Park, and Andrew Clements.
