I got in one semester from Northern Kentucky University, which was spring 2023-2024, and then I moved to Western Kentucky University in the same program; I will start Fall 2024-2025 on August 19, 2024. I attached an eligible letter from Western Kentucky University to apply for a full-time job as an MSD teacher. Also, I worked as a long-term substitute teacher at Churchill Park Crusaders School for about six months during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years. I worked one month during packback in Alfred Binet School in 2022-2023.
