What do you love most about teaching?
My favorite part of teaching is building relationships with the students. I felt invisible in high school, and I try hard to make students feel seen and heard.
What is the best way to describe your classroom on a typical day?
Busy! I try to get the kids working at the board in random groups each day, especially in Geometry class. That means kids are up and a little noisy, but it is productive.
