We should all be working to make the world a better place. My career is guided by that principle.

When I graduated high school, I had no idea I wanted to become an educator. A work study offer to tutor elementary students at a local after school center opened me up to the joys a teacher can encounter. After 4 incredible years in the classroom, I began the path to impact more than one classroom as teacher trainer. I currently work as a math lecturer training future teachers.

My career goals have shifted massively since I started that first work study, but the overarching theme is always to improve. I want to improve myself, my environment, my colleagues’ prospects, and my company’s performance.

When I was just a young woman entering adulthood, I believed my role as someone who could improve the world was simply f0r the greater good. Now that I have a beautiful family to care for, it is that much more important. In my free time, I like to go to the zoo, on outdoor adventures, explore and craft with my husband and children.
