Colleen’s Impact:
“I have carried on Colleen’s legacy throughout my college career, but it will be a whole other responsibility to carry on her legacy in my future classroom. It is a challenge I am excited to take on in the next few years.”

Advice to Students Considering a Career in Education:
“To anyone considering a career in education: although the days may be tough and take a lot of hard work and dedication, every second is worth it. Receiving a “thank you” or a hug at the end of each school day makes you realize how great of an impact you can make on young minds.”
