A little about me!

My name is Tori Stewart and I grew up in a suburb of Pittsburgh in Wexford, PA.  Through High School I was on the soccer and track teams, played piccolo in the marching band, and was part of our musical's stage crew.  Here at Grove City, I am a jumper on the Track and Field team.  Getting to know the other members of the team and working out together has been a highlight of my time here thus far.  In my spare time, I love to be outside and be active, which might be why fall is my favorite season.  Over the years, rock climbing has been a great source of exercise and fun for me.  Going on long walks around campus and spending an afternoon hammocking have been great de-stressors for me.

 

I chose to study Mathematics because in High School I found myself enjoying my math based classes much more than the literature ones.  I added Secondary Education with Math because growing up with 15 younger cousins has given me a passion for educating younger generations.  My Aunts have done a fantastic job educating their children well for Kindergarten and being a part of student's educational journey is something I feel called to do.  On top of that, being able to support students in ways past academics, with mental health, through tough social situations, etc. has always been a passion of mine.
