I was born and raised in Greenbrier Arkansas. It's not a big town it's actually on the small side so many people know it as the town that is north of Conway. My family isn't all that big but come July 20th it's going to grow quite a bit because I am marrying T.J. Tapley. My Mom's name is Sheila Moore and My Dad's name is Michael Moore. I also have a younger brother whose name is Gary Moore. Where my family and I live we call it the farm because we literally live on a farm. The people who actually gave us an acre to live on I also call my family. My Grandma, whom I call Grandmaruthie, my uncle Gary, whom I call big Gary, are the people who own the farm and ever since I was born they have always been like family. We grew so close that I used to travel to Illinois to go see their family. That's actually how I met my best friend Nina Martinez, she is four years younger than I am so I just call her my little sister. Her Mom and two sisters used to live in Illinois but they moved down my senior year of high school and so now we are closer than ever.
In my spare time I enjoy reading and I also enjoy doing outdoor festivities such as camping, four-wheeler riding, and swimming. Which means that my favorite season is summer because you can do so many more things outdoors than you can in the winter. I also enjoy traveling. I have been to various states such as; Illinois, Texas,New Jersey, etc.
The reason why I want to become a music teacher is because I love teaching and helping children and the reason why is because I am an ATA (American Taekwondo Association) instructor. I began taekwondo whenever I was around 10 years old and I trained all of the way up until my senior year of high school and my current degree is a third degree black belt. Whenever I was in taekwondo it was an amazing feeling to teach students how to protect themselves and to also pass on my knowledge to them. My parents own an ATA school in Greenbrier Arkansas which is where I have done most of my teaching. Ever since I have been teaching taekwondo I knew that I wanted to be some type of education teacher and so at that point I had to figure out what I wanted to teach. I enjoy English but then I realized that that's probably not a subject that I would want to teach for the rest of my life and so then I considered teaching music and now that's what I'm getting my degree in. So now here I am getting my education degree in music at Henderson State University.
