In third grade, I transformed my childhood bedroom into a classroom because I wanted to play school with my family and friends whenever I had the chance. I created seating charts, developed lesson plans and worksheets, organized supplies, and even received an overhead projector one year for my birthday! I have always felt a pull within me to make a positive impact on young people’s lives and help others around me.

My desire to become a teacher led me to pursue my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. Later on, my love for teaching led me to pursue my Master’s degree in Elementary Ed., specifically in Differentiated Instruction. Now my dream of becoming a teacher has become my everyday reality!
