Hi, I'm Josie Pals, and I'm currently a student at Illinois College! I'm majoring in Elementary Education and minoring in Psychology, with plans to graduate in May 2026. My plans are currently to stay in southern Illinois and teach for at least the next 5 years. I actually grew up on a small town farm in Northern Illinois, which I think gave me a great foundation for good working ethics, which will allow me to work successfully with kids. On campus, I'm really involved in student life as a Hall Director for Residential Life and as a member of Gamma Delta Literary Society. When I'm not studying or helping students, you can usually find me reading, crocheting, or working on baking a sourdough bread recipe!
