      Why I Teach

      I became a teacher to make an impact on young people's lives, to be someone they can depend on, and to share my love for books and language with them while doing so. I value creating a safe learning environment, where students are free to cognitively engage in learning opportunities and become leaders of their generation. Teaching allows me to be involved in students' lives during formative years and share my love for literacy with them every day.
