“I look to not only teach curriculum, but to raise children and adolescents to be humans that embody respectfulness, kindness, and compassion. I hope to create a classroom environment that is warm, safe, and comfortable for all students of any ethnicity and race. I plan to use my strengths as a positive motivator to encourage students to find their passions, and search through literature to find stories that make them feel something magical. An extreme desire to help others and impact their lives in a positive way has flourished in me, and I already cannot deny my love for teaching.”
