Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
The work I've done has prepared me for the demands I face in pursuing medical school by allowing me the opportunity to develop the skills to interpret data, analyze information, and drive the intellectual process.

Spanish
The “El Eco” class piqued my interest because it develops Spanish writing and speaking skills in a creative way. The most rewarding outcome of this class has been gaining confidence in my speaking skills. In class, we are always encouraged to speak whether or not it is perfect content or grammar-wise. This environment has helped me with speaking more because it forces me to stop over-analyzing what I am saying. I want to work in the education field, so being able to communicate in Spanish is extremely beneficial.

Theatre Arts
When students are able to assist me in the costume design process for television commercials or for the stage, it best prepares them for a career in the industry by giving them real world, relatable experiences. They are able to creatively problem solve and to quickly think on their feet. As their teacher, my goal in the classroom is to give students as many tools and opportunities as possible to equip them for situations whether creative or practical.
