Hi, I’m Annabel! Welcome to my page.

I am a Vanderbilt alumna originally from the Chicago suburbs. I graduated in 2022 with a B.S. in Secondary Education and English and a minor in History. I’m so grateful for the priceless learning opportunities and lifelong friendships that I gained during my time at Vanderbilt. Since graduation, I’ve been working as a high school English teacher at an independent school in Indiana. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about my degree program and how I’m applying my studies post-graduation.

Aside from being an Inside ‘Dores blogger, I was involved for multiple years in various programming councils for Residential Colleges, ‘Dore for a Day, and off-campus childcare work. I also dabbled as a VUceptor and a Peabody peer mentor. I made many wonderful memories through these extracurricular involvements, from taking part in animated conversations at a faculty dinner to mentoring prospective Vanderbilt applicants into fellow student leaders.

I originally became an Inside ‘Dores blogger because I love giving advice, and this remains the case even though I’m no longer a current student. Please reach out to me at annabel.r.sengstock@vanderbilt.edu if you’d like to chat further about Vanderbilt or any of my old blog posts.
