Share the names of your favorite professors or other mentors you'd like to thank (and why).

Dr. Shawn Clemons is one of my favorite mentors, she has inspired me to achieve greatness while at App State. Dr. Lisa Poling taught me to think outside of the box. Dr. Leslie McKesson challenged me to change the way I think about the world by changing how I think. Dr. Lisa Gross helped me to understand that science is amazing (even if it's not your favorite subject). Mrs. Kelley Wilson made me fall in love with reading and that writing about my emotions helps me to talk about my feelings without any judgment.

In a nutshell, what has App State meant to you?

App State gave me the opportunity to gain a wonderful education and introduced me to a family unit that's based on the love of elementary education. Thank you for a great time!
