My heart is fixed on helping every student in my reach realize both their educational potential and their responsibility to be a good citizen. In being a good teacher, I strive to be knowledgeable about the latest technology and effective teaching practices. I am also a “maker” and naturally implement STEAM and PBL principles into my daily lessons. Truly, my job is to be a “Designer of Intellectual Experiences.” I became a teacher because I want students to know that your life circumstances do not have to dictate your destiny. I firmly believe that once we have experiences in life, they are no longer ours to keep. We have to be willing to share all that we learn—to give it away.
