Conley is currently attending Albion College. She recalls having a teacher in high school whose husband had passed away, but Conley’s teacher returned to school only two days after the funeral. This inspired her to become a teacher. Conley feels that the Northwest Community is very embracing, and she feels accepted here. In her spare time, she enjoys watching shows on Netflix like One Tree Hill and Psych. She believes that student teaching has opened her eyes and she has a stronger desire to become a teacher. “It's been awesome,” said Conley.
