French
The summer before my junior year at Cal Lutheran, I took French classes for two months in northwestern France. I returned to southern France for the fall semester and continued my French courses in Aix-en-Provence. The idea of adding a language as a second major can be daunting to people, but without my French major I would've never had the chance to live abroad and communicate with people from around the world!

Mathematics
My first math class at Cal Lutheran, Calculus 3, is what motivated me to major in it. I really enjoyed the active learning method Dr. Gagliardo used in this class, guiding us through problems instead of lecturing with examples. All the faculty are passionate about math and genuinely care about each student’s success in their classes.

Theatre Arts
Part of my goal as a professor and mentor, in helping students discover their purpose, is to nurture their interests. Because theatre is comprised of so many different areas, sub-disciplines and specializations, it's important to help the students discover their passion and desire within the industry. That may mean encouraging them to investigate a class they may not have chosen to take on their own or exposing them to another area within theatre where you can see an interest in.
