I am a fourth-year undergraduate at Colorado State University. I am currently completing my

second year in the CEP (Center for Educator Preparation) program as part of my English Education
degree. I am a friendly, reliable, and eager-to-learn team player, and am willing to go the extra mile in any
challenge I take on both in and out of the classroom. I look forward to putting my skills and knowledge to
work solving problems with my colleagues and employer.
