Our next impressive grad is Audrey Rivera '26!
Audrey majored in Writing Communication at MC and is now off to teach 10th grade English at Nurses Middle College Nashville through Teach For America!
While teaching, Audrey will also be earning her provisional teaching licensure and master's degree of education at Lipscomb University. Her ultimate career goal is to be a writer or a teacher, teaching others to write; using her voice to help others develop their voices.
"I was consistently exposed to intensive environments for writing practice and advanced types of materials to read and respond to, and different courses where critical thinking was required in my writing. I think that this foundation helped me become someone who can read deeply and write well with the voice that I’ve developed across the different classes that I’ve had. Also, something that’s been really major for me is my relationship with different professors, faculty and staff, as well as my involvement in the Bonner program. I have been able to connect with a wide range of voices, and I feel equipped to connect with anybody I teach or come across in my writing career. Another thing that has contributed to the development of my writing is my time on the campus newspaper, the Highland Echo.”
Congratulations, Audrey!
