Why did you choose to study education?
\n<\/strong>I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. Education is my passion, and I am excited to have a positive impact on the next generation of leaders!<\/p>\n

Who is your favorite professor?
\n<\/strong>My favorite professor is Doug Kaufman, in both classes I\u2019ve taken with him. Doug creates a positive learning environment and has given me invaluable and practical skills that I use in my classroom every single day.<\/p>\n

What did you accomplish during your college experience that you\u2019re most proud of?
\n<\/strong>My proudest accomplishment in college is being the HuskyTHON fundraising advisor for South Windsor High School. South Windsor\u2019s program raised a little over $11,000 last year, and this year we were given the lofty goal of raising $15,000. We worked tirelessly and ended up surpassing our goal and raising over $16,000 to contribute to HuskyTHON 2019\u2019s $1.3 million total!<\/p>\n

What do you plan to do after you graduate?
\n<\/strong>I will be spending the fall semester studying abroad and interning in London and then will come back to finish up my master\u2019s degree in Storrs. After that, I will be looking for jobs to start my teaching career!<\/p>\n

How has UConn prepared you for your future career?
\n<\/strong>UConn has given me a great deal of guided, real-world experience so I feel extremely prepared to jump into my own classroom in a year.<\/p>\n

How has UConn shaped you as a person?
\n<\/strong>I am leaving UConn forever changed for the better. I am more confident, self-motivated, organized, and able to advocate for myself than I was when I started here. I cannot find enough words to express my gratitude for everything UConn has given me.<\/p>\n

If you could summarize your experience at UConn in three words, what would they be?
\n<\/strong>Life-changing. Busy. Wonderful.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give to a student just starting out at UConn?
\n<\/strong>Make the most of your experience! UConn has a huge number of opportunities; be sure to get involved and take advantage of them. Also, get puds at Wally\u2019s as often as you can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
