What SRU experience or faculty influenced you and in what way?
Dr. Zillifro, Dr. Nichols, and Dr. Leight are three incredible professors at SRU who have influenced me by encouraging me to work hard, get involved with as many activities as possible to separate myself from other teaching candidates, and the importance of utilizing technology in the classroom.

What else can you tell us about your success story that SRU students could learn from?
I applied to 75+ teaching positions during my last semester at SRU and would encourage all education majors at SRU to do the same. I am still contacted by schools I applied to over a year ago. The more opportunities you give yourself to succeed, the better off you will be!
