I graduated in 2017 with degrees in both Film and Spanish. Right away, I started working in entertainment. I moved to Los Angeles in 2018 and ended up falling into reality television when I landed a job working for Survivor. After some time working in the office, I had the incredible opportunity to work on location in Fiji for four seasons! It was beautiful and despite the occasional long days, it sometimes felt like a vacation! 

My working with Survivor opened the door to work for another CBS reality show, Big Brother, which I have also done for quite a few seasons now. 

Although I have loved my time in entertainment, work is not always steady or stable. During 2020, this was especially true. It made me reevaluate career options. I thought about what I could see myself doing long term and teaching came to mind. My mother taught for many years and I've always thought that if I wasn't in entertainment, I'd follow in her footsteps! 

Because my whole family is in PA, I plan on relocating back when I start teaching full time. For this reason, I started looking for PA schools with great education programs. Finding the Teacher Certification Pathways (TCP) program at ������Ƶ was almost too good to be true since it allowed me to stay living and working in Los Angeles while taking my classes. It's been such an incredible experience! 

I hope to teach Spanish at the elementary school level because I strongly believe it's vital to start learning a second language as a child and, in my opinion, Spanish is one of the most important languages to learn! I also hope to be a shining light for all students, especially those who may need a positive or comforting presence in their lives.
