About Mary

I worked as an education intern with Spark-Y, a nonprofit focused on youth empowerment and STEM education. In this position, I assisted students in the classroom with their coursework. With the same organization, I helped lead a summer recreation program for elementary and middle school age kids. I created STEM focused, hands on lesson plans that helped keep children interested and engaged in their learning. Additionally, my background as a Global Studies major at the University of Minnesota has helped me develop robust critical thinking and English/writing skills. Finally, some subjects I am particularly strong in are biology, psychology, literature, written and oral communication, and social studies.
