Campus Involvement
- Greek Life, I joined a fraternity at NWU, Phi Kappa Tau, The fraternity has given me opportunities to give back to NWU through volunteer work
- Practicum Teaching at Park Middle School, I spent my first semester at Park Middle School with seventh graders. The class I was with was social studies and U.S. History. The teacher that was hosting my practicum was a young teacher who has been teaching for 7 years so he was understanding about how I was jumping head first into a teaching atmosphere. From that middle school classroom experience I was able to make the decision that teaching is for me.
- Second Practicum at Culler Middle School, Avid Program is a program designed to help students reach success by using online tools and resources to find learning paths that best suit children in need., Fall 2023
