I grew up cooking and baking with my mom. She taught me about food nutrition and preservation and so when I was old enough to enter food in 4-H, I started working on those projects. When I went into high school, I loved my classes and had a passion for FCSE. I’m excited to teach all of the information that I have learned throughout the years to my future students.

I new I wanted to be a teacher since I could "play school" in my bedroom. In middle school I ran into an exceptional teacher in FCS and adored her. I was big in 4-H and lived on a farm so I new that it was either this or Ag Ed. I new that because of the connection I made with my FCS teacher that I was gonig to be and FCS teacher. I has heavly involved in FHA (FCCLA) and wanted to continue that involvement as well.
