Personal Summary
(entered 2019-2020)
Hello! My name is Amy Violante, and I am originally from Pennsylvania. I graduated from Gettysburg College, where I studied psychology, education, and Italian studies and had the opportunity to explore themes of identity and diversity in my courses, volunteer work, and research experiences. My passion for the intersection of education and social justice began during this time and was solidified during the two years that I worked as a college adviser through an AmeriCorps program at a rural high school after my graduation. Currently, my research work is exploring the relationship between spirituality and social-emotional learning in the public school setting. I love reading for fun, enjoying ice cream, and exploring new hiking trails!
