Summary
I chose a career path in education because I believe every child deserves to be held to high standards and achieve things they never thought were possible. Kids need a constant support system that advocates for them and does everything in their power to make a difference in their lives. I want to guide students and watch them grow to reach their highest potential. Every student deserves to have a safe environment where they can be creative and form bonds with their peers.
