Learn MoreI knew I would be a teacher in my senior year of high school. I had been a peer helper in the CDC classroom, and I realized I wanted to teach life skills and help students prepare for the real world. I love watching my students master goals they never thought they would.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy students are publishing a book. They were so excited when News Channel 5 came to speak to them about how they felt publishing a book. I will never forget all the smiles on their faces.
