Learn MoreI always wanted to be a teacher because I had some great teachers growing up. I love watching my students grow every single year. I also love being the light in my kids’ lives. Some of them have a hard home life, and it means a lot to be a safe place for them to be able to learn and grow and be a kid.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience would be my second year of teaching. I had just moved to a new school and a new grade. We had been preparing and working hard all year for the state assessment tests. They did a wonderful job and when the tests were over we got to celebrate our growth and accomplishments together as a class family! This class has a special place in my heart because we all grew so much including myself.
