Kinu Aneja graduated in 2021 with a BS in Elementary Education and now teaches first grade at a public school in Philadelphia. Her tutoring experience with kindergarten students during her time at Drexel gave her practical strategies she still uses today. Observing different classrooms through field placements helped her develop her own teaching style early in her career. She formed strong connections with faculty, especially Dr. Valerie Klein, who supported her growth and helped her secure her first job. Kinu continues to appreciate how Drexel’s hands-on approach prepared her for success in the classroom.
