Brief Biographical Sketch:

My name is Annie Fountain and I am a junior in the BC Lynch School of Education. I am originally from Alamo, CA, and I've loved going to school in Boston and experiencing a new side of the country. In my free time, I love reading, running, playing the guitar, and baking. One of the things I am most passionate about is education. I am studying to be a high school English teacher, and I have experience working in high school classrooms, special education classrooms, and summer camps. This is my first time doing Splash, and I am so excited to get involved with something new at BC!
