Why did you decide to come to MSU and pursue a degree in education?

I decided on MSU because I truly felt at home as soon as I stepped onto campus. The people and staff have made me feel as if I’m one of their own from the beginning. Education has always been an important part of my life. I highly value the chances and opportunities that obtaining higher education brings. I hope to be just as impactful in my students’ lives as teachers from my past have been for me. 

What do you want people to know about you?

I would like people to know that I would consider myself to be an extreme extrovert. I love to be surrounded by others. I enjoy making people feel like they are important and noticed as well. 

What advice would you give to entering freshmen or students finishing up high school?

My advice would be to look into every resource possible. Talking with your counselors and parents may become tiring, but there are so many opportunities out there for you to discover.
