Academic Interests

English

Concentration in Analytical Writing

Philosophy

Interest in Phenomenology

I was an English major from the moment I arrived on this campus in 2018. From the beginning, I had my concentration in Analytical Writing decided, and was determined to follow it to completion. On the way, I found my love of philosophy, and after taking Existentialism and Literature (PHI 104) the fall semester of my first year, I found my second love and became a double major. English and Philosophy work off of each other beautifully, and any knowledge gained from one often contributes to knowledge in the other in symbiotic harmony.
