What about the residency are you most looking forward to?
I am most looking forward to working with the students and making impactful relationships. I am also excited to get started and learn!
Did you have a teacher who made a lasting impression on you?
My 4th grade teacher was the best teacher I’ve ever had. She truly cared about me and got to know me. She mentored me and taught me many life lessons I still use today. She was the first teacher at my new school and truly made me feel welcome and seen. She made me realize that I want to teach, she is the type of teacher that every student deserves.
