What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive educational environment where I can grow as a teacher and positively impact students' lives.

As a hardworking and passionate student, I am committed to fulfilling my dream of studying at Temple University to earn my MEd in Social Studies. My experience as a substitute teacher has solidified my dedication to a career in education, allowing me to engage with students and understand their diverse learning needs.

Throughout my academic journey at SUNY Oswego, I have consistently demonstrated my capabilities, earning Dean's List honors during my junior and senior years. My capstone project, which involved extensive research on the underground reporting of the AIDS epidemic in the LGBT community, showcases my analytical skills and dedication to impactful storytelling. I am eager to bring my passion for education and my commitment to student success into the classroom.
