Why did you choose 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó? What led you to pursue a degree in the Education field?
During my undergrad at Dartmouth, I minored in education. Feeling that I could pursue this career path, I participated in the Teach for America (TFA) program.
TFA has a partnership with 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó, which led me to get my master’s in Curriculum & Instruction.
What is your current role, and how did 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó prepare you for your career?
I’m currently a Career and Technical Education (CTE) teacher, teaching advanced manufacturing and robotics/computer science.
51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó helped me connect with the city, and I want to contribute to the success of the manufacturing/automation industry.
Any advice to current students at 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó?
Be proud of yourself and the impact you have on others.
