My passion sparked in my freshman year of high school. I had always been a curious child who wanted to spread the knowledge that they obtained. So when my dreams of being a detective came to an end, I sat back and wondered what I wanted to do as far as my career. I was then introduced to education. It was a slow burn for a while but I realized that there was more to being an educator than just spitting facts at students for them to regurgitate back to me.

I believe the biggest obstacle in education right now is lack of culturally responsive pedagogy. This may not apply to all districts but there are some who are stuck in the ways of the past. I believe students learn best when they can relate and when they are comfortable. So producing an environment where my students are not only comfortable but engaged is a main priority in my classroom.
