Where are you now?

Rouse Elementary in Brandon, MS

Why did you decide to come to MSU and pursue a degree in education?

I had always known I wanted to teach. After visiting campus, I felt at home here at Mississippi State. The campus was beautiful and the people were all friendly. When I got accepted into METP, my decision was made, and I could not wait to be a bulldog.

What do you want people to know about you?

I am a Disney enthusiast.

Who has had the biggest impact on your life? Why?

My grandfather has always been my number one fan. He supports me through whatever decisions and achievements I make, no matter how big or small.
