Career Goals: I hope to find a teaching position that I can stick with for 10 years or so, before eventually pursuing a PhD and teaching at the university level.
Memories of Fredonia: My greatest memories of Fredonia come from the various conferences and events I was able to attend and participate in - going to Mathfest with Dr. Straight and Dr. Rogers, and to AMTNYS and Seaway Section conferences with other students and faculty. Those were great experiences, both professionally and socially, and I'll always remember them. I'd also have to put being a counselor for Camp COMETS near the top of the list. It was a fun, life-changing experience for me.
