My name is Erik Bazan. I am a senior at the University of Montevallo. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in special education. I have always been passionate about teaching. I have several years of experience as a swim instructor where I taught beginner swim lessons. I am also an Eagle Scout and taught leadership, outdoor ethics, and camping skills to scouts and Cub Scouts. I also have several years of experience with working with children with exceptionalities through a respite care organization in my community. When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy gaming, being outdoors, and spending time with friends and family.
