Some of the most impactful classes I’ve taken in the IES program are “First and Second Language Acquisition”, “Creative Drama for Child/Youth”, and “Foundations of Education”. These courses have prepared me to create an extraordinary classroom environment that promotes student success through memorable and fun ways of learning.

My favorite experience was becoming a Departmental Assistant. I loved working on psychology-related tasks and projects, getting to know fellow students and professors who have become great friends and mentors, and challenging myself to apply for the Honors Program, which I wouldn’t have heard of otherwise.
