What subject do you teach?
I am the TLC Teacher, so I work in all subjects across grade levels.
What inspired you to become a teacher?
There was no one specific thing that inspired me to be a teacher. Instead, it all slowly evolved over years of working with kids in different contexts and taking very seriously the goal of finding a career that brings me joy.
What is your favorite part about being a teacher?
My favorite part of being a teacher is connecting with students and helping them find their confidence.
What is one thing you hope your students learn from you this year?
Rather than a specific thing I hope they learned from me, I hope they have learned something for me they will always remember.
What is one piece of advice you would give to students?
A piece of advice I often share with my students is that they should ignore any inner voice they get that is filled with self-doubt in moments where they aren't understanding something and they feel like they are the only ones not getting it. There are almost certainly other students experiencing the same thing who are also worried they are the only ones. Remember you're not alone in these moments of struggle, don't let these moments accumulate to where you develop false beliefs about yourself, don't struggle in silence, and ask for help!
What is one fun fact about you that you want the BMS community to know?
A fun fact about me is that I am an aviation enthusiast and a licensed private pilot.
