Kid Me
My childhood was full of adventure – from motocross races to showing horses, digging tunnels and surfing waves. I got good at making my own fun, whether imagining a city in a pile of dirt, or the delicate relationships and drama of my beanie baby fiction.
Teenhood
Adolescence was tricky. A puberty I didn’t want, a sick (and eventually passed) dad, and the distraction of school as a thing To Be Good At. It was a rough time for my family, but we had a lot of community support – something I definitely took for granted at the time.
Development
College was my first real experience learning about the world beyond my family and friends in Riverside. I credit much of my current perspective on life to my experience and learnings as an RA, and some incredible writing and sociology professors.
College was about more than my degree – I discovered my passion for education, made lifelong friends, and fell in love.
