About Me ~

I recently graduated from Butler University in Indianapolis. At the start of my college career, I was certain I wanted to do medicine. But, like many students, my interests quickly changed and I enthusiastically decided Cultural Anthropology was more my cup of tea. I am thrilled with this decision because I have been able to pursue all of my interests under one concentration, namely Medical Anthropology, Religion and Latin American Studies.

I am currently working for the Lake County Literacy Program as a child educator for two initiatives in the area. I teach two classes of preschool aged children three times a week. I have to admit, I was fairly intimidated at first. However, I love the surprises that each class brings. This summer I will continue to teach one of the programs and will look forward to being a student again as I polish up my Spanish speaking skills in preparation for my trip.

I am also in the researching stages of graduate school preparations. Ideally, I would like to be enrolled in a program by fall 2007. I plan to continue pursuing my interests in Cultural Anthropology.
