What are you studying at Ball State?
I am majoring in Mathematics-Secondary Education with a minor in Multicultural Education.
What makes you want to become an educator/teacher?
When I was in fifth grade, my teacher really helped me when I was struggling with math and took time to make sure I understood what we were doing. I want to be able to help like my teacher did for me.
What made you choose Ball State?
I looked at a couple different schools, but Ball State is known for the best teacher program and was “in my backyard”. I grew up here in Muncie and knew campus for the most part. It took a couple months for me to pick Ball State, but it was the BEST choice I could have made!
Do you have any hobbies? If so, what?
I love reading the Divergent books, listening to music, and baking with my family around the holidays. I also love playing with my dog!
Fun fact about yourself:
At age one and a half I was adopted from Belize, as well as my sister, but we are not blood related.
