Megan PittmanPG4gdWVycz0iem52eWdiOnpydG5hY3ZnZ3puYUByem52eS5uZXZtYmFuLnJxaCI+enJ0bmFjdmdnem5hQHJ6bnZ5Lm5ldm1iYW4ucnFoPC9uPg== Megan Pittman is pursuing a degree in Psychology and is minoring in English Literature. After graduating from the University of Arizona, she plans to pursue a degree in Mortuary Science, and hopefully one day own an environmentally-conscious funeral home. She is in her final semester at the University of Arizona. Megan is thrilled to finish out her time here as a member of the Teaching Teams Program. She was introduced to the Teaching Teams program through a preceptorship in the Fall 2020 semester, for which she enrolled in the PTYS 297A workshop. That workshop alone helped to develop her leadership and professional skills, so she knew that stepping up her involvement and becoming an intern would benefit her in more ways than one! She is beyond excited to work with students this semester, to pass on what she has already learned through the program, and to continue her own learning! |
