I am a recent graduate of UW Bothell and looking to pursue a career in teaching. My current goal is to attend the Secondary Teacher Education Program at UW Seattle and gain a master’s in teaching so I can become a high school English teacher. With this degree, I want to inspire the next generation and help students find the resources needed to pursue a secondary education.
