I recently graduated from Hamilton College in Clinton, NY with a degree in Linguistics, and will be attending University of Memphis in the fall to pursue a Master's degree in Speech Language Pathology.

I grew up in Lancaster, in Manheim Township, and was in the district's Spanish Immersion program.

I believe the key to teaching is finding the method that works for each student. People learn in different ways, so teachers should be able and willing to adapt their methods as much as necessary to fit each student.

I spend what free time I have writing fiction manuscripts, creating 2D and 3D art, playing with children, and rock climbing.
