English and secondary education
(English and social studies teacher at St. Jude of the Lake Catholic School)
“The Education Department at UST gave me many essential skills that I apply every day as a teacher. From lesson planning to actually gaining experience teaching lessons, I felt certain after my last semester at UST that I was ready for my career. I also got many opportunities to participate in extra-curricular activities—namely, theatre—that enhanced my education by giving me the necessary public speaking skills, creativity, and self-confidence to interact with students and other professionals on a daily basis.”
