Special thanks: I would like to thank my parents for their continuous support, my professors for all the inspiring lessons, my mentor teacher for nurturing my growth as both a student and teacher, and to my two wonderful cats who couldn’t eat without me.
Favorite 91±¬ÁÏ memory: Getting the (unexpected) opportunity to learn from, and work with, my mentor teacher, who has supported my love for English (and now my love for teaching) since I was a freshman in high school. Also, getting to spend my upperclassmen years back on campus and getting to be a part of the campus community!
