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

I decided to come to MSU because of all the memories I have made here over the years. MSU truly has felt like home to me! I chose education specifically because I have had amazing teachers throughout my life who have helped mold me into who I am today! 

What do you want people to know about you?

I just want people to know that I am so excited and truly blessed to be going into the field of education. I love that in this field, there are so many different lessons to learn and memories to be made! I also just love to love others as Christ has loved me first, which makes this 10x sweeter!

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

A few pieces of advice I would give to entering freshmen or recent graduates would be that college is so much fun if you let it be fun! Of course, it is difficult at most times, but there are so many memories to be made with people that you love! With this being said, you MUST take time and prioritize things that are most important to your walk in college.
