Why are you interested in teaching?
I see that education is the gateway to opportunity. I see a
huge potential in presenting this opportunity to children and
their families during early childhood, especially in
circumstances in which the environment, family, or child are
otherwise disadvantaged. I have chosen special education
because I believe in providing and presenting the fullest
opportunity for all students.

Tell us about your experience at the U.
I really appreciate the many choices and diversity of studies
and research applications available at the U. Some of my most
enjoyable experiences include the Next Steps reading
program, volunteering with U-Fit, and research interventions
in special education preschool settings.
