I was born and raised in the small historic town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.  In high school I was very involved with many extra curricular activities.  I was a member of S.A.D.D. as well as the yearbook committee, which I was one of a handful of students during my senior year that helped to manage the yearbook staff.  I also played varsity soccer for four years, varsity volleyball for two years, and club soccer and volleyball starting in middle school.  In high school I helped run an afterschool volleyball program for fourth and fifth grade students and also tutored fifth grade students.  Upon graduating from Gettysburg Area High School, I began attending Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania. 

I recently graduated from PSU with my degree in Special Education.  I plan on moving to Knoxville, Tenneessee this summer and would love to get a full time position in the Knox County School District.  In my spare time I love to travel, read, run, and spend time outdoors.
