I am from the Chicago, Illinois area and my decision to attend school 850 miles away from home demonstrates my willingness to go the extra mile to achieve my goals. I have always loved kids and after having kids of my own, I realized that I wanted to make an impact in kids’ learning by jumping into the teaching world. I am very passionate about growing minds of all ages, creating a safe and welcoming environment for kids to grow and learn. I have gained great experiences through my high school and college athletic participation. Through these experiences, I have developed an excellent foundation that translates to the workplace; experience working in a team environment, superior time management, great organizational skills and an overall dedication to success.
