About

I’m a hardworking and driven student from Fort Scott, Kansas. I’m currently earning my associate degree at Fort Scott Community College and plan to transfer to Pittsburg State University to major in Criminal Justice. Alongside school, I manage two jobs and am also in the process of launching my own bakery, The Golden Swan. I’ve always had a strong work ethic and a passion for creating things that bring joy to others. Outside of school and work, I love spending time in nature, baking, and gardening. These experiences have taught me resilience, creativity, and the importance of following through on my goals.

Goals and interests

Outside the classroom

Outside of school and work, I find a lot of joy in spending time in nature and baking. Being outdoors, whether I’m gardening or just taking in the fresh air, gives me a sense of peace and helps me stay grounded. Baking has always been a creative outlet for me, and it’s become something much more. I’m currently working on opening my own bakery, The Golden Swan, which has been both a challenging and exciting journey. These hobbies aren’t just things I enjoy, they’ve helped shape who I am by teaching me patience, creativity, and the value of hard work.
