Goals and interests

Career goal

My ideal job position would include being an educator in the second or third grade. Although any grade will be amazing, at the age of 7-9, students still find school to be fascinating and are excited to learn. I want to be able to be a role model to my students and allow them to feel secure to come to me for any reason at all.

Graduate school interests

I plan on extending my education after completing my bachelors in Elementary Education by completing my Masters Degree in Reading Specialist from the University of Michigan-Flint. In doing so I will be able to work one on one with individuals on their reading struggles and be able to set up targets and small activities to improve their struggles.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies include traveling, scrapbooking, coaching soccer and spending time with my boyfriend and family.
