I love reading and strive to read as much as I can. The Hunger Games is my favorite books series, with Harry Potter coming in as a close second. I have a moderate obsession with anything true crime. I am an enthusiast of random facts. I have a passion for adventure and am always wanting to plan my next trip, even if it’s just to my hometown.

Educational Philosophy
Education was something that was incredibly important to my Mom. I watched her begin her college journey with three children ages 5 and under. She worked incredibly hard through college while raising her children and later a terminal cancer diagnosis. Watching her showed me that no one’s college journey is exactly the same. I further witnessed this with my own journey, my husband’s, and my friends’. Not one of us had a ‘typical’ journey. It’s important to remember that life throws obstacles that change the course of our paths. Your college journey is yours; no matter what path it takes.
