info​​
I am currently pursuing my M.A.T. degree in Adolescent English at SUNY Cortland. With a background in anthropology and linguistics, I have a strong appreciation for the diverse ways of life that exist within and beyond my own community. I aim to aid my future students to build this same foundation for interaction in their own lives.
