Describe the moment you knew you wanted to teach as a profession: I wouldn’t say there was really ever a moment, I just always knew that I wanted to be a teacher. Honestly, I never even considered any other occupation!

Best teaching moment in class/activity: In kindergarten, there is a funny/best moment everyday!! Kindergarteners are very honest and just say whatever they are feeling, we should all take a lesson from them! The stories they tell or even write about always make me laugh because I know that their parents would probably not love them sharing what they do!

What area(s) would you like to improve in: I am always looking for ways to improve my teaching and instruction. The minute I think I know it all and don’t need to improve is the day I need to retire!
Best advice for those considering teaching as a career: Do it because you love and because you really want to make a difference for kids.
