About

My name is Nolan Aaron Warden. I am a student at the University of Texas at Austin, majoring with a Bachelor of Arts in English.

I enjoy nothing more than the feeling of bringing joy to others, and I believe there is no greater joy than the joy of knowing. For this reason, I want to know all that I can and share it with the world. I am interested in the narratives which we, as humans, use to frame our lived experiences. I believe that, by acknowledging these narratives, we can come to understand ourselves and others at a much greater level. For these reasons, I desire to be a professor. I want to help guide students through these ideas to create a shared sense of understanding and love of knowledge. I also care deeply about making sure that the world we live in is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. I want to create an environment where people feel safe to explore the outer limits of their knowledge together.

I hold myself to a high standard of quality in my work and expect the same from others.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I plan to finish my degree with a Bachelor's of Arts in English. I then plan to go to Grad School for my PhD in English and work as a TA. Once I have my degree and experience as a TA, I plan to become a professor.
