About me!
About me!
First Generation college student
I have felt the calling to teach since 2nd grade
I love to read, take walks, and play with my dogs!
For my career, I see myself being in the classroom for a handful of years before going into Educational Policy!
My Why
My Why
I chose English Education because I believe literature and writing help students better understand themselves and the world around them. My goal as a future educator is to create a classroom where students feel supported, challenged, and encouraged to think critically.
