Learn MoreI became a teacher because I wanted to share my love of English with children. I wanted to excite them with the beauty of words. Every day I try to relay that everything in our world is based on what we say, and what we write. The beauty of communication is that it begins with a word.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceEvery day contains a memorable teaching experience, especially in special education. It warms my heart every time I see that a child who has always been told that they couldn’t shows that they can!
