Why did you want to become an educator?
I have always loved learning. In elementary school my science teacher would answer every question that I could think of. I would bring a rock inside from recess and he would tell me what kind it was. He even gave me a little book about planets that I still have today! He definitely shaped my view of learning and love for science!

What is your favorite part of being an educator?
My favorite part of being an educator has been getting involved with different activities and learning about all my students!
