I have had endless positive experiences with every professor that I have ever had the opportunity to learn from. All will move mountains to help you in every way they can but are not afraid to push you to become the best student you can be. With my degree in Secondary English Education, I would like to teach at the collegiate level or even pursue a career in educational administration. Wayne has been the perfect place to prepare me for this, as I have had ample opportunities to publish my own writing, teach in the classroom, and be involved in administrative roles in clubs and organizations.
