My name is Angela DiGioia and I am a post bac at Bryn Mawr.  I graduated from Wellesley College in 2006 with a Spanish and Political Science double major.  After graduating from college, I worked at a quality improvement healthcare not-for-profit in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  It was through my experiences and relationships there and in my volunteer experience with an organization called Operation Walk in Guatemala that enabled me to realize that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine. 
I am excited to take this course to exercise the parts of my brain that have been underutilized and underchallenged in recent years.  I hope to think outside of the box and to explore how to interact more effectively with other people who learn differently than me.  Hearing other people’s viewpoints on the same topic has always been an eye opening experience for me.  I look forward to asking lots of questions and to sharing my experience with others to create a co-constructive dialogue that will last past this semester.  With these things in mind, I would like to develop an idea of what a customer or student-focused education would look like for both children and adults.  Would it even be in a school?  What materials and topics would be taught?  How? Who would be the teacher?  Could it be peer-led?  Would there be grades?
