About
I am currently an Elementary Education Student at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky. I am studying to be a second grade elementary school teacher. I grew up in Richmond where I also hope to pursue my career in the school system. My mother has her own business as a family lawyer here in Richmond. My father is a first responder for the city of Richmond and he also owns his own contracting business. I was raised on a farm around animals and have I have rode competitive barrel horses since I was young. I have been a member of numerous youth organizations throughout my child hood. Some of those organization are, Madison County Quarter Horse Association, American Quarter Horse Association, National Pole Bending Association, International Barrel Horse Association, National Barrel Horse Association, Kentucky Quarter Horse Youth Association, Kentucky High School Rodeo Association and the Tennessee Quarter Horse Youth Association. I have been a member of the National Honors Society for 8 years now. My first year in the Society was sixth grade and I am now starting my eighth year as a freshman at Eastern Kentucky University. Soon I will be entering the Education Program at EKU where I hope to grow my knowledge and grow as a person.
