Outside the Classroom

Kitties!

I have two kittens, Sophie and Gibson. I love them dearly, and I love dressing them up. (They may not like that part as much as I do)

Family Literacy

I have been volunteering at the AK Smiley Library for over a year now. I help create and carry out monthly family literacy programs, as well as read for the Spanish Storytime every Friday. I have loved the opportunity to work with children and especially to work with children whose second langauge is English. I wish to work in a bilingual classroom or work with billingual elementary literacy in the future.

Americorps

I joined Americorps this year, and am serving AK Smiley Library. I will now be a part of the adult literacy team, and will be helping develop the program for learners and tutors. This is Ann, the other Americorps member that is serving AK Smiley Library.

Travel

I love to travel! My travel buddy is my boyfriend of 4 years, Evan. We love exploring new places together. We both have been pretty busy with school, but I can't wait to see where life takes us next. (He likes hiking more than me though)
