I graduated as the Valedictorian from a small private, Christian school in Texas in 2012. Having already earned some college credit while in high school, I took some classes the following year on a local college campus, some online, and tested out of some courses for credit, and was able to complete my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies in just one year! I graduated from Thomas Edison State College in 2013, and then began working on my teaching certification through an alternative certification program. I landed my first teaching job shortly after completing my certification in 2014 -- and the rest is history!
