Summary

My goal is to become a professional educator in the state of Georgia. I have been a Physical Therapist Assistant for eight years, but I would like to pursue a degree and career in the field of education. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Exercise Science and an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Physical Therapy Assistant. I plan to attend Middle Georgia State University as a fully online Masters of Arts in Teaching Program student to obtain my initial certification and Masters of Arts in Education in either 4th-8th Grade Science or 6th-12th Grade Science.
