I love to work with children and young adults to increase their knowledge and desire to learn! Ever since I was a kid, I was always helping my class mates understand assignments and topics in each of my classes. As I grew up, I kept this desire to help others while some influential people helped me realize that I might want to teach. Mr. Stewart (pictured on the right) was my favorite teacher, and he inspired in me a desire to understand history and to learn how to teach people like him. My dad is also a teacher, and has always encouraged me to do what I want (teaching or otherwise) as a career.

I have many interests and tend to pursue them with bursts of energy. I love to paint, so I would spend days working on projects into the late hours of the night. I was painting these shoes until 4 am just because I was feeling inspired. These bursts of energy don't only apply to painting. I also have focused on disc golf, ultimate frisbee, computer games, and academics at other times.

My family and friends are super important to me. I have two parents who love me and two older brothers who have helped me become the person I am today. Everybody in my family has had such a large influence on me. My friends are also very important. I have been in the same group of people since my Junior year of High School, and they encourage me to be my best self. I also have two cats named Berry and Lexi. They aren't people, but they are definitely close to my heart!
