This portfolio showcases key moments from my journey as a Literacy Studies student at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education (GSE). Throughout my time at GSE, I have engaged deeply with questions about literacy, identity, and the role of digital media in shaping how children read and write. The program has pushed me to think critically about education, inspiring me to explore innovative, student-centered approaches that honor cultural diversity and foster meaningful learning experiences. Ultimately, this portfolio reflects my passion for storytelling, multimodal literacy, and the transformative power of education in shaping young minds.
