Hello! My name is Destini Kasha Jones and I am a 19 year old sophomore at East Carolina University. I am a Birth through Kindergarten Teacher Education major with hopes to add on Elementary Education after graduation. When I graduate from college I plan on starting my career as a Kindergarten Teacher while working on my Master’s Degree in Graduate School. I am a member of my school’s Student Activities Board (Promotion and Entertainment) and am currently interning to be the Event Manager for the board. Aside from school you can usually find me with my nose in a book or working on dance choreography, which is a passion of mine that I am pursuing. I also enjoy writing poetry, researching world issues, and listening to music (typically of all genres). I am eternally grateful to the West Foundation for rewarding me with this scholarship and look forward to being able to take part in any opportunities in the future, thank you!
