Education

  • Casper College

    Major: Elementary Education; Minor: Early Childhood Development

    2015 – 2017

Honors and awards

  • Phi Theta Kappa: Zeta Alpha Chapter

    Within my first semester at Casper College, I was invited to join Phi Theta Kappa: Zeta Alpha Chapter which is an International Honor Society. It provides great opportunities for students, including community involvement and volunteer events.

Goals and interests

Career goal

After graduating with my Bachelor's degree, I plan to begin teaching, hopefully somewhere around Wyoming. As I am teaching, I also hope to continue my education in this field and go on to get my Master's degree. At some point in my school and work career, I hope to get an endorsement in Special Education, as well.

Graduate school interests

I will not be able to get my desired degree at Casper College, unfortunately. I am considering University of Wyoming, Black Hills State in Spearfish, South Dakota, and Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska. Once I finish my two years at Casper College, I will look at each school and determine which one aligns closest with my my existing education plan.
