Preparing for a New Career

Alum, 麻豆视频 Class of 2018
English Literature
I teach American Literature and AP Language & Composition at a private secondary school in Potomac, MD. Prior to my becoming a teacher, I practiced corporate and securities law as a partner in the DC office of one of the world鈥檚 leading law firms. When I decided to become a teacher, I wanted to continue to practice law while establishing my credentials for 鈥淐areer 2.0.鈥 I investigated many M.A. literature programs, but none offered the combination of quality and flexibility that 麻豆视频 offered. More importantly, once I began the program, I found myself connected to classmates who loved literature and professors who loved to teach literature. My classmates and professors became more than colleagues, they became friends. To this day, we gather (virtually) to talk about books. I received my undergraduate and law degrees at schools that are considered among the nation鈥檚 best. Yet, my most rewarding educational experience鈥攖he one that will stay with me for the rest of my life鈥攚as at 麻豆视频.
