Who was your favorite teacher & why? OR What made you want to become a teacher? Being a teacher is truly a childhood dream come true for me. One of my favorite childhood memories is when my cousin and I played school and took turns to be the teacher/student during summer. Those memories motivate me to bring my best everyday and become a better teacher. I’m proud to bring that passion to my classroom and my students.

Interesting Fact? I love traveling so let’s talk about all the beautiful places there are to go!
