What inspires you to teach/lead? I want to have a positive, inspiring impact on children’s lives. I am eager to make difference! Students tend to remember their teachers for an entire lifetime, long after school is over! It warms my heart to see formal students of mine doing good in the world!
Did you always want to be a teacher or work with students when you grew up? I didn’t necessarily wanted to be teacher when I grew up but I knew I wanted to do some that involved helping kids in some way.
What is your message to all students? There’s nothing you can’t do if you really want to. Always remember the hardest person you’ll ever face is the one staring back at you in the mirror.
Favorite Sports Teams: The home team! – Milwaukee Bucks! Bucks in Six!
Fun Fact About Me: I love to cook and workout.
