Some of my interests include reading, hiking, taking pictures, scrapbooking, and fishing.  My favorite author is Karen Kingsbury.  I love to take a beautiful afternoon hike and look at the fall leaves, waterfalls, or just the mountains.  I am in a great place for hiking here in Western North Carolina.  I like to take pictures while hiking or pictures of my family and friends.  After taking the pictures, I like to compile them and design pages for a scrapbook.  I have made four scrapbooks so far documenting sports, school, and trips.  My grandparents live on a farm that has three ponds in Greensboro, NC.  I enjoy going to visit and fishing for bream and bass.  While at WCU, I was very active in the Wesley Foundation which is a United Methodist Campus Ministry.  We have a student-led worship service every Thursday night, Bible studies, fun activites, and service projects.  It has been like a second home for me at WCU.  I am a North Carolina Teaching Fellow so I have stayed involved with the WCU Teaching Fellows program during my time at Western.  I was a part of the Leadership Committee for two years to help make decisions.  Throught the Teaching Fellows Program, I have met some wonderful people and future colleagues in the field of education from all across the state of North Carolina.
