About

I started attending Central Virginia Community College in the fall of 2014 right after I graduated from high school. I thought it would be easier to do my general studies there. I then went on to Sweet Briar College in the fall of 2016 to start my major of Elementary Education. I ended up leaving Sweet Briar College after a semester, because it was just not the school for me. Then I went to apply to Liberty University while I was on Winter Break and got accepted. I am now taking courses for my major and minors completely online while I work as well. I absolutely love Liberty University and glad I transferred.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan on becoming a teacher for pre-k, kindergarten, or first grade is my goal. I am minoring in special education as well, in case I want to take a path in that as well one day.

Graduate school interests

I will not be going to a Grad school, I will just complete my Master's Program at the school I attend now, which is Liberty University.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy reading mystery novels and I love to paint in my spare time. Painting and reading are my two main things to keep the stress down and help me through school when I have the chance to do it.
