An abbreviated version of my grandfather's middle name, Del came from Delano in reference to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Presently, I am 31 years old and live in the small town of West Plains, Missouri. I love working as a substitute teacher!

I expect to learn how to design my own website. I hope to build a website with a self-improvement theme. I enjoy exercising, tennis, videogames, movies, reading, and playing with my 7 y/o daughter, Daisy.

Regarding videogames, my favorites include Just Dance (Wii), Mario Party (Wii), Guitar Hero (Xbox 360), Resident Evil 4 (GameCube), and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64). Pertaining to movies, I love all of Disney’s classics, Raya and the Last Dragon, Frozen I & II, Kung Fu Panda, Ninja Turtles, The Matrix, John Wick, The Hateful 8, and Logan.

I am a determined educator. I like to be punctual, organized, and deliberate with my task objectives. I graduated in 2023 with a master's of science from the University of Missouri- Columbia. I have sharp interpersonal communication skills, a hightened sense of self-awareness, and a lifelong dedication to detecting the finer details that most other people overlook and bettering them.

I have always been keenly interested in the design aspects of movies and video games like coding, continuity, and storytelling. I believe they can be used to make education more relatable and engaging.

Additionally, I find the concept of self-improvement fascinating as the very idea varies infinitely depending on which aspects in life an individual values most. I've got a lot left to learn, but I aim to universalize it.
