Education Studies

I am a psychology major with a minor in English and a concentration in education. I am planning to pursue a career in education after Oberlin. I played the flute in the Oberlin College Marching Band and was drum-major for three semesters. I also played in the Oberlin College Wind Ensemble and I have enjoyed tap-dancing with ViBE Dance Company. Highlights of my time at Oberlin include dancing in the Student Dance Showcase, studying abroad in Copenhagen, getting up to shenanigans in marching band rehearsals, and making some amazing friends.

My single in Burton for two years

Jane Austen: Then and Now. It was my first-year seminar and it felt like my first real college class. I loved reading Jane Austen and getting to know Professor Baudot and the rest of the class.
