Knee injury kicked me out of basketball so I joined Show Choir in high school. Got to do shows with the Pan Jive Steel Drum Band, Trans Siberian Orchestra member Mark Wood, and participated in All County and All State choir competitions.

Life hit and I was kicked out of my home. Dropped out of high school three months before graduation and got a full time job in a paper plant. Bye bye Meredith.

My heroes are my grandparents. They began getting sick so I moved to Ohio to help take care of them and be with my family.

Started my journey at Clark State College. I went for accounting because I knew there wasn't much money in teaching. During my time there I met so many people who encouraged me in so many ways. My last year I decided I would continue my education, but go back to Elementary Education as I was not happy in accounting like I thought I would be. Graduated top of my class, did honors work that changed curriculum of an accounting course, and was vice president of the honor society as well as part of student ambassadors and senate.
