My educational journey has taken me from growing up in Bay View going to Burlington-Edison High School, then Spokane Falls Community College in Spokane, WA. At SFCC I competed on the track team and completed an AA degree. Through track and field an opportunity to go complete for the University of Alabama track team in Tuscaloosa, AL opened up.

I moved to Alabama and and finished my collegiate track career and a Bachelors degree in History in 2008.

When I left Alabama I moved to Spokane to attend Eastern Washington University in pursuit of a Masters in Teaching and a Secondary Social Studies/History teaching certificate. My time at EWU was completed in summer 2010 when I defended my thesis on //Implications of the Implementation of Standards-Based Curriculum and Assessments.//
