I grew up close by and graduated from Kiowa High School. Growing up in a rural area, I was able to grow up with a variety of animals. Whenever I get the chance, I like to spend my time outdoors. From fishing and gardening to horseback riding and taking care of animals, I'm always outside! 

This will be my first year teaching! However, UNC gave me several opportunities to be in a variety of different classrooms. I've spent a significant amount of time in Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade classrooms at a variety of different schools. During my time at UNC, I pursued an emphasis in Special Education to ensure that I would be able to provide support all my students and their families. 

Looking forward to an amazing year!
