    Frolicking on one of campus’s many trails or on a spontaneous drive to the beach (because it’s just so close).

  • SINCE YOU ASKED ME TO BRAG, HERE'S THE PROFESSIONAL
    ACCOMPLISHMENT I'M MOST PROUD OF

    I wrote my undergraduate thesis about higher education initiatives in maintaining diverse and genuinely inclusive science classrooms, and our role as educators in “humanizing” what tends to be a very quantitative and objective domain of study. I interviewed students and faculty from multiple colleges, and I’m pretty proud of how it all came together and how it has informed my perspectives as a young educator.
