Biology
To me, research and teaching are variations on the same theme: educating students. I view my research with students as an extension of the classroom. More student research means more opportunity to provide a better educational experience.

German
German is important to me because I love learning new languages and find them very fun and exciting. German is also important to me because my family is from Germany. I have really enjoyed all of the German classes I've taken here so far and looking forward to learning from Dr. Stewart and sharing my knowledge with other students as a Department Assistant. After I graduate from Cal Lutheran, I plan on moving to Washington DC to work in intelligence and/or translation.

Spanish
The “El Eco” class has greatly increased my confidence in Spanish speaking and writing. After conducting interviews and writing articles, I really believed in myself and abilities. Plus, having a Spanish article that I wrote is an impressive example I can show feature employers. This class has taught me that Spanish goes way beyond the classroom.
