Computer Science
I think the biggest inspiration I’ve received from a class here was Computer Graphics with Dr. Reinhart. We utilized Linear Algebra tricks to perform some pretty cool graphical manipulations. The math and programming behind them required time and patience, but it was very worth while.

Geosciences
Being able to work hands-on with all of my professors has really allowed me to develop my skills in geology. I am able to constantly talk to them, get advice, and share ideas of what I would like to do. That has helped me a lot in making decisions.

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.
