I was originally born in Virginia Beach and moved to just outside of Washington D.C. at a very young age. I enjoy being so close to the nation's capital and getting to explore this great city on a regular basis.

My family is extremely important to me. They motivate me to do and be the best that I can. Both of my parents dropped out of college and now are very successful in what they do. I also have a younger sister who I try to inspire everyday.

This is my beagle puppy, Lucy. She is so sweet and playful, but she has a seizure disorder. I love her with all my heart.

I attended Patriot High School and graduated 2013 and received an advanced diploma. I then began my college career at Radford University.

I am currently pursuing my degree in Early Childhood Special Education. I chose to pursue this degree because I have a younger cousin who has Down Syndrome. I want to inspire children, advocate for children, and change their lives.

In 5 years I see myself teaching in an elementary school and working with kids every day while going to school myself pursing a second Masters degree in administration. In 10 years my goal is to become a principal to impact even more children than just one class at a time. My end goal for my career is to become a superintendent of education.

And now a few things that bug me.

Some important things in my life...

• My family
• My sorority
• Working with children
