I grew up in Linesville, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Conneaut Area Senior High. I am currently working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education at Slippery Rock University. I love spending time with my family. Also, I love spending with my dogs, Payton (right) and Charlie (left). Payton is a Pit Bull, and Charlie is a Pit Bull Lab mix.
Growing up, I babysat and eventually was a nanny to one of our neighbors. While being with them, I really found my passion for working with children. I was able to watch them grow up and help them become the people they are today. As they got older and into school, I was able to help them with their homework. By doing this, I realized that I really liked helping children learn and grow, and it was something that I wanted to do as my career.
Music has always been a huge part of my life, and it is something that I love to share with others. Music is a wonderful way to learn how to express yourself. I love learning anything about music. I also really enjoy learning how to play instruments. Music is something that I would love to incorporate into my classroom.
Another thing I love to do in my free time when the weather is nice is go kayaking. I grew up about 10 minutes from Pymatuning State Park. This was a really good way for my family to go out and have what we call water picnics. We would take out or lunch or dinner out in our kayaks, and we would eat and then go explore the different islands around the area!
