How has TU helped you grow?
TU has really helped me expand my horizons more than ever. I'm typically a very introverted person, but joining different clubs on campus and gaining leadership positions in them have helped with my people skills and made me a little bit more comfortable being in the spotlight/talking more freely about what I love.
What advice would you give a prospective student?
Get involved! I know it's said all the time on tours and at events, but getting involved on campus really is the best way to make friends, expand your horizons, and find new interests. TU has a lot of great opportunities to learn about clubs and organizations and everyone is very welcoming to new people!
After graduation I want to …
Become an elementary school teacher! I've always loved working with kids so I really want to become a teacher of young minds. I also hope that my skills in ASL could help me when working with Deaf or Hard of Hearing children in school.
Favorite Class/Professor at TU
My favorite class ever so far has been my Deaf Studies 104 (ASL 1) with Professor Corning, or JC as we call him. He was amazing to work with and learn from! He also just made the classroom a fun space with lots of time for interaction with my classmates and actually putting the signs we were learning to use.
