About
At a young age, I knew I wanted to change lives. I wasn't sure what exactly that meant, but I knew I wanted to make a difference. At this point in my education, I can confidently say that being an educator is something I am passionate about. When individuals enter the career of education, they are impacting others lives daily. This is something I have been striving for my whole life, and am overjoyed that I am on the path to reaching my goal.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
My intended job path consists of landing a teaching position, at the elementary school where I currently work. I would love to teach the lower grades, such as K-2, but am excited and thankful for any opportunity that I may be given.
- Outside the classroom
In my spare time, I love to adventure the outdoors with my dog Beth-anne. If it's a cold day, I love drinking coffee and watching documentaries. Reading christian fiction is also a passion of mine.
