I am currently a sophomore at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts studying Physics and business. I’ve loved teaching since high school and believe all of us as educators can improve on our pedagogical ideas and materials we use in the classroom; I am involved in a teacher advisory group where we do exactly these things! I was inspired by my high school physics teacher to choose this as my career path. He made the subject exciting and relatable, he brought out the best in students and they wanted to learn. All too often I see the opposite happening and believe through the work we do together as the SPS we can improve education across the entire US.

I am also involved in a fraternity Lambda Chi Alpha. This has afforded me countless opportunities to be involved in philanthropy and social events. Through this organization I am becoming a member on the Food Recovery Network team which brings unused food from WPI to local women’s shelters. 

I had the opportunity to study abroad in Germany during my time at WPI. This experience was life changing as I learned a new language and traversed a culture that I never had before. I plan to continue experiencing different cultures around the world and love to travel.
