When I began my college journey I was initially determined to become a mathematics professor. Education has been a passion of mine ever since I was a teenager working with students as a camp counselor. Ever since then I have had multiple jobs in the field including tutoring, assistant teaching, lesson design, and school administration.

The COVID pandemic started while I was pursuing my math degree and all classes were moved online. During this time I noticed that my university seemed unprepared for this situation and was not utilizing the virtual tools we had efficiently. As someone who has interest and skills in technology, I knew online learning could be successful with the right effort, research, and knowledge. This motivated me to pursue a Master's degree in Learning Technology and Experience Design – the perfect mix of pedagogy and design. Here and during my internship with NYU Tandon, I honed my skills for designing creative content delivery that makes learning exciting and accessible.
