Internship: This past summer I was the ceramics teacher at the Grier School in Tyrone PA, for their program: Grier Summer. I was a camp counselor for a unit of 8 girls and taught up to 3 ceramics classes a day.

Travels Abroad: Lille, France (summer program.) My favorite part about being in Lille was re-connecting with a student at the Universite Catholique who had been at JC the previous year for her study abroad.

Most Interesting Class: Nutrition with Kirkoff-Glazier. It is the only class that I can say has truly impacted my life/health decisions immediately. It makes me concious of my every day habits. I learn so much every day of class.

Favorite Faculty Member: Bethany Benson has employed me as a studio tech for 2 years now. I feel like she believes in my abilities and pushes me to do great things with my art eventhough I haven't taken a class with her since my freshman year. I can't wait to be in classes with her again next semester.

Honors Received: I made Dean's List freshman year, and have made the athletic honor roll since then.
