Favorite Class: When you come to visit campus, stop by B203, the education lab in the Academic Center – someday I hope my classroom looks just like it!
On Student Teaching: The faculty go out of their way to make sure you’re matched with a co-op teacher and classroom suitable to your interests and abilities. South Williamsport High School is a perfect fit for me!
