I wanted to go to a school that was as passionate as I was about my content area.”
Allnutt also felt that it was important to go to a smaller university, to build lasting relationships with other students as well as professors.
She now teaches choral and general music to students that are kindergarten through fifth grade at Montgomery County Public Schools in Gaithersburg, 马里兰.
