Hi! My name is Ellie Short and I am 19 years old. I graduated from Newton Community High School in 2013, and I am a Golden Apple Scholar. I currently attend Eastern Illinois University, where I am pursing a degree in secondary mathematics. I have such a large passion for teaching, and I can't wait to be making a difference in the future some day soon! When I am not in school, I enjoy hanging out with friends, playing the piano, and cooking.
