My research is in Rural Education, and I have a passion for helping students learn about the educational resources available to them. Many students are not aware of the many opportunities they have, such as internships, travel courses, and scholarships.
"I'm interested in providing a non-traditional approach to learning about career opportunities. Students will gain hands on experience of researching career opportunities, as well as meeting professionals and alumni in their career fields."
