I see myself having my own elementary classroom, teaching and inspiring young kids to grow, learn and flourish their creativity in education. My goal is to let kids be kids while giving them the education they deserve.

Who is your favorite professor and why?

My favorite professor so far has to be Michael Staudenmaier. He teaches my U.S. History for Elementary Educators class, and I'm really enjoying it. He doesn't just feed us info; he tosses us questions that make us think deeply about history and how we can use it in our future classrooms. He makes this class engaging, and I enjoy having those deep discussions in his class!

What is a Manchester bucket list item you'd like to check off?

I would love to try something new each year at Manchester, whether it's stepping out of my comfort zone or trying a new sport, club, class, etc.

I love to do archery! I did it for seven years at my high school.

What is your favorite Manchester memory?

My favorite Manchester memory has to be all the movie nights my friends and I host in my room or any time I spend with them! We always share laughs, make memories and have a blast. Those are the memories that last forever!
