I was an intern for The World in 2014.I work as a reporter for EdTech Times where I write about all things concerning education and technology -- and I love it. In 2011, I received a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature from Temple University where I continued indulging in my love for dusty books. In my two years off from school I wrote about the restaurant industry in Philadelphia, and wrote grants for a preservation society.I am an avid podcast listener, live to learn, and enjoy a good story above all else.
