Through my involvement on campus, it is clear that I have always loved education, particularly teaching. At Ursinus, I was a tutor for both the math and French department, a TA for the math department, leader of the French tables where I was responsible for creating speaking opportunities for other French language students, President of local chapter of Mathematics Association of America and President of Francophone club where I was tasked with creating engaging and educational activities for all of campus to attend, head Peer Advocate where I worked with other peer advocates to educate campus about consent and all things related to Title IX, and New Member Educator of Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority where I was responsible for educating new members about history of the sorority and the importance of service. All of these experiences further proved my love for teaching as well as gave me the foundation I needed for my current job.

After graduation, I briefly attended Carnegie Mellon University to pursue a Ph.D. in pure mathematics. During the fall semester, I was the lead TA for one of the Calculus 1 courses. I spent a lot of time grading, writing solution keys, and prepping for recitations sessions that I lead and office hours that I ran. Office hours quickly became my favorite part of the week because I loved teaching one on one or in small group settings. This opened my eyes and made me realize that I really wanted to pursue a career in education. I now teach French at an independent school in Pittsburgh, and in my free time I work on researching to write a part two of my Honors Research Thesis.
