I graduated High School!
I attended Valley Local High School my entire life from K-12. I graduated with an amazing class who made my school years nothing less than great! My senior year, my class excelled in sports. I was very fortunate to receive many scholarships that have helped me with my goal of becoming a teacher! -
Adoption of Koby
Soon after graduating high school, my boyfriend adopted a Chorkie Puppy for me as a graduation gift. (Chihuahua and Yorkie Mix) I was ecstatic! Dogs really are your family and we loved him so very much! -
College/Basketball University of Rio Grande
I found myself enrolled at The University of Rio Grande with a basketball scholarship. I went in undecided but always knew I had a love for kids. My basketball team was the one thing I enjoyed most about Rio. Two big steps were taken- being enrolled in college and committing to play basketball. -
My First 5K
I have always been the girl that's involved in sports but I've never claimed to like to run! I didn't think I could do it, but with the support of my family and others, I ran my first 5k and Won my age division! This specific 5k was filled with many obstacles as pictured.This kept me motivated to run in more and see how competitive I could be! I have now ran in three 5k's! -
I want to be a teacher!
I had found a love for kids through working at a local daycare at Rio. It was called Little Storm Learning Academy. This was the turning point in my college career and was the moment I knew I wanted to teach the youth of our future! I had such a great experience there and enjoy being with kids as much as possible now. -
Puerto Rico
What an experience. My basketball team and I travelled together to Puerto Rico over Christmas break in 2017. We played in a basketball tournament but also had the chance to explore and have fun! This trip was great and it has been one of my favorites to this day. -
Shawnee Transfer/Children's Learning Center
After two years at the University of Rio Grande, I had made the decision to leave/move on. I was very excited to be able to come home and attend the college in my hometown- Shawnee State University. I was soon offered a job at the CLC- in the infant room and instantly knew I had made the right choice and things were falling in to place for me! -
Phonics Class!
I have never taken an education class at Shawnee State University, however, I am very excited to do so now! Within this class, I hope to be able to learn how to help young children read, and make sense of what they are reading. When I was younger, I struggled to read, but luckily with the help of my mom (who is a teacher) I got past what was holding me back, and ended up LOVING to read. I want my students to love reading as much as I do. I want to learn how to educate my students in literacy.
