This website is a portfolio of my work as an undergraduate English - Secondary Education student at The College of New Jersey in "Clinical One," the first phase of student teaching. Throughout this portfolio, you will explore some of my experiences as a first-time English Language Arts student teacher. I hope you enjoy these snippets of my journey!

EDUCATION
EDUCATION
I graduated Franklin Township Public High School in Somerset, New Jersey in 2019. Now I am a junior undergraduate student pursuing a BA in English-Secondary Education at The College of New Jersey.
I was also recently accepted into the Five-Year English MA program at TCNJ in which I plan to further my knowledge of pedagogy and literature. And I am a first-generation college student—I am the first (and currently only) person in my family to attend college.
PAST PRACTICUM EXPERIENCES
PAST PRACTICUM EXPERIENCES
Because of COVID-19, perpetual lockdowns, and the consequential migration onto Zoom, I did not have previous practicum experiences. My fieldwork in Clinical One was the first time I ever stepped foot in a classroom as a student teacher and English-Secondary Education major.
However, throughout high school I worked as a peer and middle/elementary school tutor in the school year and a camp counselor in the summer.
