About

I am currently an Elementary Education student at Tallahassee Community College in Tallahassee, FL. I plan to transfer to Florida State University within the next year. I am studying to become a teacher for students in grades K-5. This has been my passion since a young age. I enjoy working with young children and getting to watching them learn and grow. I have been employed with a daycare ever since I was old enough to work at one. I love my job and all the responsibilities that come along with working with children. Being able to teach children new skills and watch them better their knowledge is very rewarding. As a student I get to learn and as a teacher I get to help others to learn, and I couldn't ask for anything better than that. I am a lover of learning myself and I can't wait to teach young children a love for learning as well.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I am currently studying to become a teachers for grades K-5. My plan is to remain local and be a teacher for kindergarten or first grade and to be involved with after school activities such as clubs for the kids. I really want to be that teacher that is involved with the school organizations.

Graduate school interests

My current plan is to complete my AA degree at Tallahassee Community College, then I want to complete my Bachelors Degree at Florida State University. Since learning is a deep love of mine have have gone back and forth on the idea of going back to school to complete my masters at some point in my career.

Outside the classroom

My hobbies include reading, wood burning, painting, drawing, and outdoor activities. I have a deep love for literature, and I always try to find time in my busy schedule to enjoy good book. I've always had a artistic side to me and whenever I get the opportunity to love to create. Living in Florida, the weather is beautiful so going outside is a must, especially during the Summer time.
