I have a passion for helping students with learning differences reach their full potential. My goal is to open a school for students with learning differences. When looking for majors I was looking for a college degree that would not only teach me how to be a great teacher but also give me the know-how to run my own school. That's when I found Individualized Study (INDS). It's perfect for me. It allowed me to tailor make the perfect degree for me. I'm excited to turn my dream into a reality with the help of this program.
What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?
Extracurricular
I plan on receiving my masters in educational therapy and then after working as an educational therapist opening a school for students with learning differences. My INDS degree provided me with the necessary foundation for my future plans.
I revived the Zainab Damji Memorial Scholarship. I also teach 4th and 5th grade at Torah Academy of Minneapolis.
