Get There:
Into Becoming a Role Model

Zachary Hanlin

Recognizing how tough growing up can sometimes be, Zachary Hanlin is on a mission to make the classroom a safe and exciting space for all children.

Zachary Hanlin has always liked working with kids. In the middle of leading a history game during one summer as a camp counselor, he was suddenly struck with the knowledge that he wanted to do that for the rest of his life. With middle school being such a tough time for many youngsters, he decided that was the grade level for him—so he could be a supportive role model when they need it most.

Already helping kids feel comfortable and excited in the classroom everyday by completing a teaching residency, he is determined to one day help as many children as possible as an educational administrator.
