I grew up fostering dogs in my family so I have seen and worked with hundreds of dogs, from puppies to seniors. I have so much love in my heart for animals, and I have never met a dog that doesn't like me, nor that I do not like. I am a college graduate working in St. Louis and I dearly miss being surrounded by dogs all the time. Some of my personal values are always being on time, being kind to everyone, and showing love through every action and word. I studied Secondary Education and French at Saint Louis University, and I hope to teach French in an urban community. Wherever I teach, I want to implement a program that connects students to animal shelters, because I have seen first hand the effects that dogs can have on students that are stressed, and it gives them the opportunity to be loved unconditionally.
