I received my bachelor’s degree in English from Southern Connecticut State University in 2022. At Southern, I worked as a writing tutor and loved helping students feel more confident about their writing abilities. Since graduating, I have worked in education and am excited about being back at a university. I am looking forward to making lasting connections at UB. In my free time, I like to hike, read and take care of my plants.
