\"\"What made you want to earn a degree in education?<\/span><\/h3>\n

I always knew I wanted a career with kids. I love their curiosity and eagerness to learn. I love being a part of shaping their future.<\/p>\n

What made you choose Ball State?<\/span><\/h3>\n

I chose Ball State for the feeling it gave me on my first visit. I remember pulling up with my mom and sister and thinking how comfortable it felt. I loved the campus and community and knew it would be a great fit for me personally and professionally.<\/p>\n

Do you have a favorite part of your time at Ball State? What do you look back on and remember fondly?\"\"<\/span><\/h3>\n

My favorite memory from Ball State is my summer trip to Malawi where I taught at an orphanage with fellow Ball State students. We spent time teaching English to students and put together a professional development day for educators. We also enjoyed Lake Malawi and a safari trip.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give to someone just starting out at Ball State?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Enjoy every moment. Take risks and open yourself up to all the opportunities and experiences.<\/p>\n

\"\"What is your favorite part of working in education?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The kids. I love building relationships with kids and helping them become the best version of themselves.<\/p>\n

Do you have any hobbies, or favorite things you do to relax that you would like to share with us?<\/span><\/h3>\n

I love playing card games, going to concerts, hanging out with my friends, and visiting family in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Fun fact about yourself:<\/span><\/h3>\n

I have lived in 7 states.<\/p>\n
