Stella Felix (she/her/hers) was born in Denver, Colorado and lived there until the age of five when she and her family moved to Tucson. She has been living here ever since. Felix entered the University of Arizona as a pre-physiology major with a dream of becoming an OB/GYN. During her sophomore year, she had a change of heart and, thanks to her family, was encouraged to do some soul searching. After working in a kindergarten classroom of a local K-12 charter school, she knew a career in early childhood education was the right fit for her. Now she is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education while working part-time at a daycare center that prepares children ages 1-4 for kindergarten. She joined the team of COE Ambassadors to share her passion for early childhood education with others. In this role, she hopes to be a role model for future students and looks forward to helping high school students find answers to their questions about higher education.
