Undergraduate Degree: West Texas A & M University - Bachelor in Arts, Education

Reading has been a lifetime hobby for me whether reading research studies, solving fictional mysteries, or interpreting poetry stanzas. A few of my favorite authors are Stephen King, David Sedaris, and Emily Dickinson. Another hobby is writing of all types from research summaries, persuasive letters to a government representative, fleshing out an interesting memory with creative nonfiction, or composing poetry full of figurative language and rhythm. I love the power of words. I'm an amateur photographer with works displayed in local art shows and a few published. Before I could reach the countertop on my own I was baking assistant to the best baker I've ever met, my grandmother, who sold countless baked goods to fundraise and filled holidays with so many pies, cookies, and candies that it required 2 full tables to occupy. Now I'm a fearless baker tackling delicious recipes and creating my own. Specialty cakes and cupcakes are my forte but I'll dabble in any baked goods. Traveling states spread across the country and venturing overseas to Hong Kong and China, where I explored the Great Wall, have all left me wanting to travel more frequently. Online shopping and bargain hunting are another hobby I enjoy so much that my delivery drivers and bank account plead for mercy.
