There, she participated in Feed St. Louis (an organization for feeding the homeless), Green Action, and the International Leadership Program (an awareness organization for international events). She graduated in 2009, and has spent the last year teaching English in France. She attended Belleville Township High School West where she scored exceptionally on the ACT. She was a member of the National Honors Society, on the Honor Roll each semester, and participated in Theater and Model United Nations. She was a tutor in high school, both at BTHS West and at Governor French Academy, where she functioned as an adjunct Theater instructor.

Working for Ivy Insiders is one, particularly fulfilling, step in achieving a long-held goal of hers: to be a great teacher.
