Growing Up in The Lou

I am so grateful to say that I am from St. Louis, Missouri! Before college, I had lived in St. Louis all my life. Thankfully, most of my family lived nearby, so they were very involved in my day-to-day life.

Some of my favorite things about St. Louis include Imo's Pizza, Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, the St. Louis Zoo, Forest Park, and most of all, the Lake St. Louis Farmers Market.

What Makes My Heart Happy

One of the main reasons I chose to study at the University of Arkansas is because of its beautiful hiking trails. Bonus if the trail has waterfalls (the one pictured is in Missouri)! Exercising and doing anything I can outside is so important to me!

Another hobby of mine is reading. If you ever can't find me, I'll be lost in a book all cozied up in a corner somewhere!

Lastly, pink is my favorite color because it reminds me of all the people I love!

Navigating What is in Front of Me

I am currently in school to fulfill my dream of becoming a teacher! I want to make a difference in education and bring the excitement for learning back to classrooms.

I am currently a soccer and gymnastics coach for young kids, and it is truly my passion to help these kids grow in their confidence.

Soon, I hope to study abroad in Ireland and gain more insight to education across the world!
