I am currently a Freshman in college at the University of Maryland- College Park. My major is math and secondary mathematics education. Math has always been a passion of mine and I've discovered that I love teaching as well! Right now, I'm taking a class where I'm teaching elementary school math in a school in Prince George's County in Maryland and I love it. I'm learning about inquiry teaching and I think that it helps a lot with math because inquiry teaching leaves students guessing and wondering about content, so they come back just a little more interested than they were before.

Outside of math, my biggest passions are baking and creative writing. I write stories in my spare time, mostly fiction, but I also write essays on topics or literature that I'm particularly interested in. I am also looking into volunteering, when I have breaks from school, at an animal shelter because I love animals!
