In her own words . . .
 
“What led me to the field of teaching was my desire to become the teacher I so desperately needed when I myself was a student. I didn’t figure out that I had a love for learning science until my first year of college. I knew that I wanted to be a teacher who helped students discover their love for learning, and the potential they carry with them at a younger age. Over the last four years, I’ve realized that there are many hurdles – language barriers, learning disabilities, low self-esteem, etc. – that most of my students face to get to that point.”
