Why did you decide to become a teacher?

I decided to become a teacher because I enjoy working with students and developing a strong rapport with them. It’s very fulfilling to see students grow and mature; I hope I’ve played a part in their development and they’ve enjoyed fifth grade!

What has been your most memorable moment as a teacher?

My favorite moment probably was when I found out that I was hired at Harman. I completed a practicum and student-taught here, so I was ecstatic when a fifth-grade position became available. My family and I reside in Oakwood, my two sons, Conrad and Hudson, will attend Harman, so we’re very invested in this wonderful community!
