Plans
In the fall I will be attending Saint Vincent College, participating in the Honors Program while majoring in History and earning my certificate in Secondary Education. I play the trumpet, and plan to join the marching band at Saint Vincent to continue my passion for music. After college, I aim to become a high school history teacher, where I can share my love for history with students in the same way that my teachers did so for me. I would also enjoy mentoring clubs or assisting the band.
