Females in Technology
FIT for the Future

 Danielle Duffy-McMurray

High School: Seton Academy
Current Major: Industrial Technology Education
My Career Choice:

I was drawn to this major by the diversity of the classes. From Wood to Communication the range was so interesting. Being a teacher also has aspects that I thought would make a satisfying career. With summers off, and short work days, as well as helping to ensure a promising future for young minds, there are many aspects to tech Ed that I was attracted to. I am the type of person that needs change, and in a technology field there is constant change. As technology evolves so will my curriculum and routine, I find that very appealing. Teaching teach Ed is a career choice that will be hard to get bored with.

My Plan for the Future: I plan on developing unique curriculum that is geared towards the inclusion of females. I plan on furthering my education, possibly to the doctorate level. I would like to start teaching at the middle school level and work my way up to teaching the collage level.
Activities, Interests, Hobbies:

One of my favorite hobbies is black and white photography. This semester I am very proud to say that one of two pieces I submitted was accepted into an art show. It was very exciting.

To be honest I love anything crafty, I think that is why I enjoy developing hands-on activities so much.

Experiences in College:

I am a member of TECA and ITEA,

I am one of the people that pushed to develop F.I.T., and I am the current student leader for Project L.I.T.T.E.R, I am the current student team leader for Tech TREK, and this semester I was awarded the Sylvan A. Yager Industrial Education Scholarship for 2007-2008 school year.
