What are you most proud of in your professional life so far?
Making connections with students that have lasted past their graduation. Also being a Teacher of the Year finalist.
What are your greatest strengths and your biggest weaknesses as an educator?
Strength: making connections with students with their life and the content, always willing to go above and beyond for co-workers and students.
Weakness: Being able to effectively convey information without tripping over my words and stuttering. It is not the worst thing, but it takes away from what I am trying to get to the students. Also, my content knowledge is not as good as it should be.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I like to spend my time around sports, both coaching and watching. I also love playing video games and spending time with loved ones.
