Summary
Teaching has become my passion. While I initially thought doing science was my career, I came to realize, after teaching, that imparting my knowledge and enthusiasm was my career. Being able to connect with students with my love of science has created bonds with students that will always be remembered. From my first year, a student from Connetquot reached out about 4 years ago to contact me and stated how I impacted his life in a positive way. When I was excessed from Middle Country, I had an overwhelming support from my students that still impacts me today. I teach because I love the connections I make with my students.
