Welcome to my portfolio, I am Hayden Slikker and I am from Ray, North Dakota. I attended Ray Public School for grades K-12. While in high school, I was captain of my school’s volleyball team, class representative of Student Council, as well as a representative for my school’s chapter of FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America). After high school graduation, I attended Williston State college and graduated in 2018 with my Associate’s of Arts degree. After this I decided to continue my education at the University of Mary for Elementary Education.
My interest in education has been sparked by several things throughout my life. Babysitting, tutoring, and having a father who works as an assistant principal, are some of the things that have motivated me to get to where I am today. Family is another big part of my life. I am blessed to have two families, which means four parents and a lot of love. My mother lives in western North Dakota, where she was raised, with two of my younger siblings. My father lives in central California, with my other two younger siblings. Other than my family, I also enjoy spending time with friends, and my two cats, Jameson and Rosie. My boyfriend and I enjoy being “crazy cat” people.
Currently, I work at Noah's Ark Daycare and Preschool in Bismarck, North Dakota. I work with kids of all ages and backgrounds. I also work as an aide in one of the preschool classrooms three days a week, for students entering Kindergarten next year. I enjoy working with the young learners, and helping them get ready to enter school in the fall.
