I am currently a student at the University of Missouri studying Elementary Education. I graduated in 2010 from Liberty High School in Liberty, Missouri. I transferred to Mizzou in the Fall of 2012 when I decided that I wanted to be an Elementary School teacher (and I couldn't be happier with that decision!). When I lived in Kansas City, I was a dance/cheer instructor for younger children. I have also volunteered in programs that work with children and various dance-related programs for kids. I have always had a passion for working with kids and strive to be a positive influence and role model in their lives. I also love being active and creative, and I enjoy getting the chance to experience new things. I couldn't be more excited to see what my future has in store with teaching!
