My long-term goal is to pursue a career in education, with a focus on supporting young learners during their early elementary years. I’m especially drawn to roles that allow me to create positive, engaging learning environments where students feel seen, supported, and inspired. Whether in a classroom setting or through specialized instructional support, I hope to make a lasting difference in how children grow, learn, and thrive. After completing my degrees at WNC, I plan to transfer to Grand Canyon University to further my education and prepare for certification in the teaching field.

After completing my associate degrees and transferring to Grand Canyon University, I plan to pursue graduate studies in education. I'm especially interested in programs that focus on curriculum design, classroom innovation, or educational leadership—areas where I can expand my skill set and support students through engaging, inclusive instruction. Graduate school will be an important step in refining my vision as an educator and building a career centered on purpose, creativity, and growth.

In my free time, I enjoy photography, camping, and spending meaningful time with family and friends. Photography allows me to express creativity and capture everyday moments that tell a story. Camping is my way of unplugging and recharging—there’s something grounding about being surrounded by nature. Above all, time with loved ones keeps me centered and motivated, reminding me what I’m working for.
