Why education?
“ As a teacher you play an important role in helping shape students and their future and I want to be a part of that.”
Favorite quote:
"Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system."
– Sidney Hook
When times get rough, I continue to do this work because...
“What motivates me to keep going are the students. I want to be the teacher who students can see as safe and supportive.”
