What benefits and/or professional skills you have acquired in the program?
The ability to forge one-on-one relationships during brief meetings is a skill held by the best physicians—and the biggest reason why I love NE STEM 4U! Between long hours of work and class, I sometimes get too absorbed in my goals and lose sight of why I made those goals in the first place. Getting to know each NE STEM 4U student as an individual is a much-needed respite from that. It reminds me that humans—the connections between us and the growth we can achieve together—should be my highest priority every single day.
What is a hobby of yours?
I enjoy teaching these students, but more importantly, I enjoy learning from them. Any minute of spare time I have is devoted to singing, reading, or driving around!
