Early Education: I graduated from Forest Hills Central High school in 1996.  I attended Forest Hills schools since elementary school.  In high school I participated in basketball, volleyball and softball my freshmen year.  After that I took a break from sports.  I was a part of the Forest Exposure media group for two years.  This was a group of students that created, produced and broadcasted news to the entire school on a daily bases.
 

Later Education:  After high school I attended Grand Rapids Community College for three years.  When I started there I was interested in majoring in Criminal Justice.  I wanted to either be a police officer or do detective work.  While I was there I took a few classes on juvenile delinquency and corrections.  These classes inspired me to work with young people.  I later decided that I wanted to help young people through education.
 

Current Education: I am currently a senior at Grand Valley State University.  My major is History and my minor is Spanish.  I plan on applying to the School of Education in the fall.  I would like to teach on the secondary level.  I hope to finish my graduation requirements in the fall and to start the Education Program in January.
