Tell us about your community involvements and/or hobbies:
My favorite way to dedicate my time through community service is participating with an organization called "The Shine Foundation" in Tupelo, Ms. They are an organization that hosts sports leagues, events, fundraisers, etc. for children with special needs. I have a passion for special needs so I love to volunteer and the kids always brighten my days.
What do you plan to do after graduation?
After earning my degree, I would love to become a Special Education teacher. I hope to find a job at a school with a warm environment to teach children in and a school that supports their faculty.
