BACKGROUND

I GREW UP ON THE EAST SIDE OF MICHIGAN IN A CITY CALLED TROY. I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL IN 2011 AND STARTED MY COLLEGE CAREER PLAING SOCCER AT EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY. I LEFT EMU AFTER ONE SEMESTER, FIGURING OUT THAT WAS NOT THE PLACE FOR ME TO CONTINUE MY EDUCATION. I STAYED HOME FOR ONE YEAR STUDYING AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE BEFORE MAKING THE DECISION TO MOVE TO KALAMAZOO AND ATTEND WESTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY. I AM MAJORING IN SPECIAL EDUCATION WITH A FOCUS ON EMOTIONAL IMPAIRMENTS AND LEARNING DISABILITIES WITH A MINOR IN SECONDARY ENGLISH.

 

IN MY FREE TIME I LOVE TO RELAX WITH MY family, make memories with my FRIENDS, READ, SNOWBARD IN THE WINTER, AND WAKEBOARD IN THE SUMMER. I AM A FIERCE LOVER OF ALL FOUR SEASONS AND FEEL BLESSED TO LIVE IN A STATE THAT OFFERS ALL OF THEM TO US EVERY YEAR.
