Hobbies: Traveling, working out, supporting student leadership and creativity

How I Got Into Education: My grandmother was an educator and was actually my principal for 9 years of my education. My mother always worked in early childhood education and encouraged me to do the same, leading me to work at a pre-school when I was in high school! Their passion for education and helping families was passed on to me, so I decided to fuse that with my love of science and become a science teacher!

How I Got Into Education: Throughout middle and high school I was lucky enough to have the same school counselor. As I navigated through the school system and my adolescents, she provided me with unwavering support. Ensuring I was presented with the same opportunities as my peers. Once I graduated high school and entered into my undergraduate studies, I knew that I would be an educator.
Hobbies: Exploring with my kiddo, writing, crafting, and spending time with loved ones.
