My educational career started when I was five years old.  I attended Swegles Elementary School in St. Johns, Michigan.  I continued there until the summer before my fourth grade year.  I then attended Gilbert Linkis Elementary School in Blacksburg, Virginia for the year.  Again I moved back to St. Johns and went back to Swegles Elementary School for my final year in elementary school.  I then entered Rodney B. Wilson for my middle school career and stayed there for all three years.  Next, I attended St. Johns High School in St. Johns, Michigan for the next four years until I graduated in 1999.  Currently I am in enrolled at Grand Valley State University in my third year of classes.  I am going into elementary education with a group social studies major, emphasis on geography.
