Personal Statement
I have always been passionate about making a difference in my community, especially with regard to access to higher education. My career goals are firm: I resolve to be an education policy mover in Montana by providing students with experimental and immersive educational experiences in high school, to better prepare students for their future careers and success in college. I will be an advocate for a paradigm shift in public education to integrate more student-centered, real-life application, and experimental learning opportunities.
