About me

I grew up in Herndon, Virginia and was a competitive gymnast. In high school, I began cheerleading and was thrilled to make the George Mason University co-ed cheerleading team. During my time at GMU, I became very interested in writing, publishing, and teaching. I came to Virginia Tech for graduate school to begin a teaching career. My future plans involve teaching middle school or high school and publishing a novel. Please view my resume below.
