CURRENT MISSION

Perfecting the balance between sticking to a routine and creating new, awesome experiences.

ABOUT ME

I've been working as an elementary school teacher since I graduated from Michigan State University. It's been a crazy life transition but I am forming relationships with some amazing kids and learning a lot about myself.

Its very rare that I am not down to try something completely new. I have a ridiculously random sense of humor. I am a movie nerd who appreciates good conversation and a great story. I am somewhat of an exhibitionist and am prone to making overly ambitious plans.

PHILOSOPHY

Expectations can be a powerful thing. They should motivate you to be a better person and to make the world around you better. They also need to be thrown out of the window on many occassions.
