Why did you decide to become a teacher and what is your favorite part of teaching?
I decided to become a teacher because of some amazing educators I had in my life. My most memorable moment as a teacher is a time when I helped a child learn how to multiply after they struggled with multiplication for three years.
What is your favorite part of Future Goals & how are you using it in your classroom?
I love how much fun the students have with Future Goals. Any time that I allow the students to play future goals, they are so happy and get so excited for class.
Who is your favorite NHL player and why?
My favorite hockey player is Anders Lee. He became my favorite hockey player when i went to my first hockey game and saw him score a goal!
If you played hockey, would you rather be the goalie or a goal scorer? Why?
Goalie, I want to make the saves!
What are some of your favorite hobbies?
I enjoy working out, playing video games, and cooking.
