About Me...
I knew I wanted to be a teacher as a teenager, and it is hard for me to picture myself not being in the field of education. It is really exciting for me, as a teacher, to guide students through the journey of a project from start to finish, and see them grow and progress in their skills, self-awareness, and self-confidence. Every day presents a new challenge, and every day presents a new discovery.
