Goals and interests

Career goal

In the next five years I can see myself with a Doctorate degree in Education and teaching students who want to become teachers at the university level. I am interested in encouraging young Americans to become great teachers in our public education system. My goal is to spread the word that having an education can open many doors to an individual not only in school but in their community.

Graduate school interests

I am currently attending Concordia University online in successfully completing a Doctorate degree in Higher Education. I am interested in obtaining a Doctorate degree in Education to achieve the highest honor of education and to show many young girls that having a dream is obtainable with hard work and believing in yourself.

Outside the classroom

In my spare time I love to cook
I also love to bake
I enjoy reading novels
