McCabe, who is going into the education field, said her studies will directly apply to her field and hopes to teach creative writing.

“Graduate school has been interesting, as I can actively apply what I learned to my daily substitute teaching assignments, and provide immediate feedback to my professors on what works and what doesn’t," said McCabe. "I hope to become a Middle School or High School English Teacher. I love creative writing and aspire to teach that."
