As you know already I am a Junior at SUNY Cortland getting my Early Childhood and Childhood Education degree. I have always loved working with children but it wasn't until my sophomore year of college that I realized teaching was what I wanted to do. Once I changed my major I fell in love with teaching. I love to learn about the research behind how children learn and their development. When I am not working on my studies, I enjoy being with my friends and family. I like to hike, kayak, run, and travel. I have an almost two year old yellow lab named Hunter. Hunter enjoys hiking and being outside with me. He keeps me very active because of all of his energy!
