- What was your favorite class and why?:
One of my favorite classes at Rutgers has been Introduction to Chemistry Education, which I took as part of the Chemistry Teaching Intern program. The small class size created a close-knit learning environment, and I enjoyed exploring diverse pedagogical strategies while reflecting on my growth as a TI. It also gave me valuable tools to become a more inclusive and effective educator!
- What other Rutgers activities and extracurricular activities do you participate in?:
Beyond academics, I serve as Project Manager at Rutgers T.E.A.C.H. (Together Educating All Children in Hospitals), where I design STEM experiments for pediatric patients. Furthermore, I’m an Honors College Ambassador and Peer Mentor E-Board Member, as well as Vice President of the National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH). Outside of campus, I work as an Emergency Department Scribe at Jersey City Medical Center.
