Hi, everyone! My name is Marissa (she/her), I’m from Morris County, NJ, and I’m a freshman Theater Education major on the 4+1 path to becoming an English teacher. Becoming a teacher was not on my career radar, but I realized it combined a lot of my skillset with my interests in theater, Shakespeare, and analytical reading/writing. I am a theater kid through and through, always listening to show tunes or learning a new song. In my free time, I love to crochet. My favorite pieces are a huge, warm neon cardigan, and a sweater vest with Mike Wazowski on the front. Here at Temple, I’m involved with Broadway on Broad and Temple Side Stage. I also lead the music ministry every weekend at the Temple Newman Center for Catholics. If you have any questions about being a theater major, the 4+1 program, or just want to talk about a good book, feel free to reach out!
