Hometown:<\/strong> Sidney, Maine<\/p>\n

High School:<\/strong> Lawrence High School<\/p>\n

Parents:<\/strong> Brenda Gallagher Thomas and Richard Thomas<\/p>\n

Special thanks:<\/strong> I want to thank all off the staff and professors in Lengyel hall! Your positive, energetic, and caring attitudes and personalities made going to class everyday so easy. I need to also thank my parents for their endless support.<\/p>\n

Favorite UMaine memory:<\/strong> My favorite memory at UMaine was Jesse\u2019s Team Sports and Invasion Games class. During this course, I found myself as a teacher. It helped me find the confidence that I lacked as an educator. It\u2019s the class where everything just clicked together for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
