Goals and interests
- Career goal
I hope to continue teaching and then eventually work in higher levels of education, such as curriculum design or administration.
- Graduate school interests
For my research so far, I am interested in how student-led discussion can be scaffolded to allow for success at the 6th grade level. I am also interested in how role-play can be an efficient pedagogy for learning history, and I am interested in the importance of social-emotional learning curricula in schools.
- Outside the classroom
I enjoy reading, writing, running, playing guitar, singing, and cooking.
