About
In high school, specifically the Fall semesters of my junior and senior years (2018 and 2019, respectively), I ran with a Cross-Country Running team for the local homeschool co-op organization KACHEA (Kingsport Area Christian Edication Academy). I continue to run for exercise to this day.
In Fall 2019, I completed a dual enrollment semester at Northeast State Community College in Blountville, TN.
I graduated high school in May 2020 from New Hope Academy in Kingsport, Tennessee (a homeschooling Umbrella School).
In Fall 2020, I began my first official college semester at East Tennessee State University with a Major in English. After spending Spring 2021 also at ETSU, I moved with my family to Beaumont, Texas and transferred to Lamar University, where I began my sophomore year in Fall 2021, continuing to Major in English. I have continued to study at Lamar University, and currently hold a GPA of 3.74.

I completed and passed a two-day class (July 7-8, 2023) on operating a Bobcat MT-85 (Mini Track Loader) for cleaning up in case of a hurricane or other natural disasters. On the first day, I received instruction through videos. On the second day, I successfully operated a Mini Track Loader. Due to the 2022 class, I am now double certified to operate a Bobcat.
