Summary

I am a forward-thinking, team oriented deep thinker with a keen interest in pursuing training to lead to a position as a professor after the required education. I prioritize the team I work with, while also working well alone to utilize my true power as a detail-oriented and observant organizational powerhouse. I am dedicated to pursuing my educational studies, as well as constantly expanding my mind to learn new skills, adapt to new roads life will take me through, and hear the stories of the people and places around me.

Quote

“We are what we imagine. Our very existence consists in our imagination of ourselves. Our best destiny is to imagine, at least, completely, who and what, and that we are. The greatest tragedy that can befall us is to go unimagined."
N. Scott Momaday, Kiowa poet and Pulitzer Prize winner
