Alongside students in and out of the classroom I listen to big questions, encourage personal reflection, and help cultivate engagement with the broader community. It helps to wrestle with how your purpose is connected to and plays out in the world we share.

Spanish

I studied abroad in Granada, Spain, where I took all my courses in Spanish and lived with a host family that only spoke Spanish. This experience helped me greatly with my language acquisition and earning the confidence to speak it. Before I studied abroad, I was only minoring in Spanish but when I was planning my classes for Spain, I found out I would only need to take a few more classes to meet the major requirements so I upgraded it from a minor to a double major.
