Summer is a junior majoring in Biological Sciences with plans to pursue Physician Assistant school after graduation. Drawn to the GenZ Project by a longstanding interest in how different teaching approaches shape student learning and success, Summer has become passionate about examining the ways instructors influence not only performance but also student engagement and growth. This research project provides an opportunity to further explore these dynamics and better understand their impact on students’ academic paths.

Outside the classroom, Summer is beginning a third year as a member of Arizona State University’s stunt team, the Stunt Devils. In free time, Summer enjoys spending time outdoors, staying active, and connecting with friends and family.
