- Freshman; Early Childhood Education with a minor in leadership development through the leadership program.
- I am COO of Kappa Alpha Theta and I cantor mass Sunday here at JCU. I’m also involved in SUPB, dance marathon, hold a work study position in the musical department, and participate in intramural sports. In highschool I played basketball and sang, some of my friends would joke I was “Troy Bolton” from High School Musical because of my love of both sports and musical theatre.
- This artile about inclusive leader embodies my goals as a leader. All throughout high school and even through my first semestre at college I have found myself, or worked to be in, leadership roles. I try to be the leader that creates a community where people not only feel comfortable as if they belong, but are excited to be a part of the community. I think it’s important for leaders to understand how much inclusive membership can enhance performance while encouraging others to take on responsibilties and ownership of their work.

- My weekly service is on Tuesdays at Noble Elementary tutoring the students there.
- I am visual tactile learner. Hands on experience and hand writing notes is how I study. For me to feel comfortable, I need to be encouraged to step outside of the box and appreciate failure in terms of advancing learning.
- A few of the significant issues I see in the field of education is the failure of having equal opportunities straight with students in elementary school. Another issue I see is teachers involved in the field that are not passionate about learning and their students. The difference in the educational standards from state to state, and north to south on a larger scale scare me. All students and teachers deserve to be able to strive for academic excellence.
