One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is getting the opportunity to complete my teacher assisting in Stellenbosch, South Africa with a group of school of education students. We stayed with host families and also did some traveling for 6 weeks.

One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is taking a class with Professor Kurt Bullock. His class was the most challenging I took at GV, but in a good way.

One of my favorite memories from Grand Valley was being a part of the GVSU Dance Troupe. I had never taken any type of organized dance classes prior but soon fell in love with the art of dance. I still dance both recreationally and competitively today.

I have so many memories! One of the top ones would be watching our football team win the game that sent them to nationals! The goal post got taken down by the fans rushing the field and we got to take a picture with it.

A favorite GVSU memory was creating and curating a student art show with my friend (also art teacher) Michelle Haapala. As art education majors, a final show was not part of our degree, but we wanted to show what our students could do.
