Who I am...
I was born and raised in Portsmouth, VA, only about 15 minutes away from ODU. I am 20 years old, and a sophomore here at ODU! I love spending time with my friends and family, especially at our weekly "Friday night family dinner"! My sister and I LOVE to go thrifting, and to our favorite coffee shop, Gather.
Before coming here to a huge public university, I went to a tiny private Christian school my whole life, so this was definitely a big change for me.
A little more about me...
This is my dog, Oakley!!
She is a 3 year old chocolate lab, and we got her when she was only 8 weeks old!!
I have worked in a school for 4 years now with my sweet k5 kiddos!! We love to do crafts, play outside, and I love to watch them grow more and more every day!!
Like I said before, I LOVE coffee. I go to my favorite spot probably 3-4 times a week to do homework. A goal of mine is to go to every coffee shop in the area!

My Influences
I have just recently changed my major from Nursing, to Elementary Education!! Although I did not realize it before now, I truly believe some of my biggest influences in this decision where 2 of my high school teachers. They were my Health/PE teacher, Mrs. Jeffers, and my English teacher, Mrs. Buck. I will be forever grateful for them allowing me to bombard their classrooms and offices at any time of the day, always being welcomed with a smile and big hug. Being with them was a safe space for me, and one day I hope to do the same in my classroom.
