Life Before U of A

Born in Jonesboro, Arkansas, I lived there for six years and before moving all across central and western Arkansas. I graduated from Rogers High School in 2023, participating in the Rogers Mounties Marching Band. I also participated in the theatre class, earning my Thespian card, and headlining in many performances soon afterwards. Though I wasn't always a UARK student, originally I was a part of Missouri State University, and went there for two whole years before coming here! Where I plan to stay.

College Life

I do not reside at UARK and instead have found my place! I currently work at the Scott Family Amazeum, and have babysat my little brother for well over two years, along with other neighborhood kids. My little brother loves going to the Amazeum, where me and I go every Tuesday to turn around and play. He is a great inspiration for getting me on this path because he truly lights up my world whenever I am with him.

What The Future Holds

My current major is Social Studies Education, and after college, my dream is to become a history teacher at either a middle or high school. No one else in my family, other than my grandma, is currently working in any form of education, and she is a great inspiration to me to go down this path. She was a high school principal in her hometown, becoming a part of the school board, and eventually retiring at the age of 60. I have always loved the school environment and the opportunities it presents for unique experiences. I just hope one day, when I graduate, that I seize that opportunity!
