Goals and interests

Career goal

Teaching middle school children is my passion. The children are so full of energy that there will never be a dull moment in my classroom. I plan to help my future students understand how math can be fun and helpful. There will be many difficulties in my line of work, but through school and practice I believe I will be able to overcome those challenges and change the world one child at a time.

Outside the classroom

I love crafting including: scrap-booking, painting, and jewelry making. I am very hands on and find creative ways to solve everyday problems and I plan to bring my skills into the classroom to enhance learning.
