I started with preschool and went to a number of elementary schools. School was where I wanted to be more than home. Since I was young, I've wanted to be a teacher, to help students feel safe and provide them with a sense of belonging while learning what they can at school. It wasn't until 6th grade that I stayed in one town for the remainder of my K-12 school career and established myself & friends. After graduation, I pursued my interest of teaching at a university in that same town and have been here ever since. I now have a Bachelor's in Elementary Education with a Special Education endorsement. Currently, I am in graduate school, pursuing my Master's in Leadership in the Classroom.
