Learn MoreI became a teacher because school wasn’t always an easy track for me, especially with reading. I know how tough it can feel to struggle, and I wanted to be the teacher who helped students overcome those challenges. I believe every child deserves the chance to succeed and discover their potential. Teaching allows me to make a difference in their lives, provide support, and create a positive, encouraging environment where students can grow and thrive, no matter the obstacles they face.
