I would like to give an honored and blessed thank you to the Homer Foundation for the Bill and Liz Johnson Teacher Education Scholarship. I would also like to give thanks to the Homer Emblem Club No. 350. I’d like to take this moment to thank everyone who considered me for these scholarships. Thank you for your investment into the youth of Homer and in my future.

This fall I will be attending the University of Alaska Fairbanks and plan to pursue a career in elementary education. I have a passion for teaching and have been surrounded by the wonderful teachers at Homer High School and wish to give back.

Again, thank you to these wonderful organizations for helping me to achieve my dreams as I move forward into the next step in my life.
