I joined Parkmont this year, after earning a computer science degree from Connecticut College, with a special interest in technology addiction. Starting in winter 2023, I was a substitute teacher at Maret school, where I was reminded how much fun it is to learn along with students. During this past summer, I worked with a psychologist on questions around social media and addiction, especially as it pertains to kids. During this time I heard about Parkmont and really wanted a chance to engage with students more directly.
