What inspired me to get into the field of education?:
In addition to my own children I have an extremely large extended family and have been surrounded by children my entire life. My wonderful experiences with all of my little ones has inspired my passion for working with young children from a very young age.
I also believe that education is an important form of social justice. When we all have the ability to understand and interpret our world, we all have the ability to make it better!
What’s the most rewarding part of your job?:
The most rewarding part of teaching is the joy. When children have an accomplishment or are having fun, the joy is inspiring! Not every day and not every moment has joy but the moments that do make teaching the best job in the world.
