About
I'm positive, energetic and dependable lifelong learner. I have a passion for education and believe in the power of reading to transform one's life. Paying it forward and truly being the change that I wish to see guides my day to day living as a daughter, friend, educator, and student. I'm a decorated educator who is passionate about doing everything in my power to make a positive impact in the lives of my students inside and outside of the classroom. I am also a full-time graduate student seeking to soon change careers and pursue improving the lives of others within the criminal justice system.
