1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
I have recently accepted a Kindergarten teaching position within
Houghton Lake Community Schools. I am so excited to share my knowledge
and warmth with 20 little ones that will fill my classroom.
2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
Some of my favorite memories at GVSU were within my integrated
science classes. I made some lifelong friends, being crammed together
in the same classes for two years, and we had many good times together
in Padnos.
3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
I read a book over the summer called, Everything is
Figureoutable. Don’t waste your worries on small things in life, be
conscious of what you’re putting your energy into.
4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand
Valley experience.
Supportive, challenging, rewarding
5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
I want to make a difference in kids’ lives!
