Quotes

"Over the course of my young career in education I have had many students ask me 'So why did you become a teacher?' My response has always been something along the lines of 'Because I love teaching.' The Milken Award has changed my perspective on teaching to inspire young adults to consider a career in education....My new focus as a teacher is not only to teach classroom subject matter and curricular content, but to encourage students to share what they know with others and to learn from others through being a lifelong learner."
