ALUMNI RECEIVE A 15% TUITION DISCOUNT

I graduated from Culver-Stockton with my BA in Music in 2019 and instantly decided to come back and pursue my education certification and masters! I already had a relationship with one of my advisors and knew that coming back to my Alma Mater would give me a unique opportunity – I would be able to do what I love with professors that care about my success and journey into education. Zoom calls and emails have made it easier for me to work on my certification while working full time and planning a wedding! I am beyond thankful for the chance to continue my education at Culver-Stockton College!
I currently live in Southeast Missouri with my fiancé, Giovanni Walker `17 and our cats, Elliot, and Oliver. Culver-Stockton introduced me to my fiancé, helped me pursue my love of music, and is giving me the chance to share music with my future students!
