Out of all the universities you looked at, what made you ultimately choose Miami?
I chose Miami because of the great financial aid they gave me. I also went because of the small class size.
How did you choose your major(s)?
I have always wanted to become a teacher; it is definitely my calling in life and my passion. I just like history, so I picked social studies.
Tell us about any special experiential learning opportunities that have influenced you in a positive way.
Joining EHSA and College Mentors for Kids really let me jump into my career during my freshman year, which made me really happy.
As a Miami ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ, what are some of your awards and accomplishments? Are you a ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ leader? Tell us about that and what roles you have played in the Miami community.
I have worked at a lot of EHS open houses and worked on ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈ panels answering questions to prospective ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈs and their families.
What are your plans after you graduate from Miami? What is your dream job?
My dream job is to be a high school history teacher in the Cincinnati area.
Is there anything else you'd like to share about your Miami experience that we didn't cover?
I have a twin brother named Owen Martin, who also goes here, studying Political Science. My favorite professor is Scott Sanders. He’s a great guy. Amanda McVety is also great. I just recently started her class, and I can tell she cares so much.
