A bit about me…


I am currently a junior at the University of South Alabama. I am double-majoring in secondary education and social sciences, as well as minoring in psychology. I have a passion for helping people and from a very young age have known that I wanted to become a teacher. I graduated within the top four percent of my class at Gloucester High School in Gloucester, VA. I currently hold a 4.0 GPA at South and have made the president’s list each semester I have been enrolled. I also work extensively to fully pay my tuition and living expenses. I am highly motivated and believe I am a unique applicant for any teaching position.

Learning along with my students

I don't know everything.

I am not afraid to admit that. Actually, the things I don't know are exponentially larger than what I do know. And that is true for everybody on the face of this Earth.

So why do most people have such a hard time admitting it? I want to learn from my students just as they learn from me. If a student asks me a question that I don't know the answer to, I want to look it up and find out for both the student's benefit and my own. I want for my students to engage in active conversations about the subject at hand and teach me things I don't already know.

But so many people are stubborn... and conceited... and think there is nothing more they need to know. Unfortunately, some of these people are teachers. I hope to always remain humble and never satisfy my natural curiosity.
