I am the oldest of six girls, so I have five younger sisters. I have lived in Rhode Island my entire life, residing in Cumberland. My dad graduated from URI’s engineering program; my mom has the hardest job in the world (being a stay-at-home mom of ALL girls). I love going to school, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I find joy in helping others and aspire to be a lifelong learner. My favorite quote is “remember why you started”.

Cassidy was selected because she has shown strong leadership for the cohort, excellent academic performance, professional attitudes as a teacher candidate, and a commitment to volunteerism.
