My two favorite rooms are the newsroom and the classroom.As an aspiring educator, I am passionate about innovating teaching methods and instilling academic confidence in students. I see education as an evolving field, frequently demanding change. Even after teaching hundreds of classes to middle school and college students alike, I constantly rethink my methods and take inventory on what works.This hands-on philosophy follows me to the newsroom. I have extensive experience writing and editing op-eds, a.k.a. spending long nights at the roundtable, reshaping articles until they are at their most concise, truthful, and intriguing. Now that I am soon to graduate from Furman University, I enjoy uplifting younger writers on The Paladin and nurturing their callings to journalism.Synthesizing these potential career paths is my true love of writing. It is a constant, but welcome, challenge - both to teach and to do. Although writing is hard, it is crucial to every role. I have a vested interest in bettering my own writing style and learning how to help younger students do the same.
