I attended Utah State University and proudly consider myself an Aggie. I have truly
enjoyed teaching junior high and am excited to begin a new adventure teaching 6th
grade.
As a student, math did not always come easily to me, and there were times when I
found it frustrating. Like many students, I went through a stage where I disliked math.
However, through perseverance and support, I was able to overcome those challenges.
Because of those experiences, I strive to help students build confidence in themselves
and realize that they, too, can succeed in mathematics.
My goal as a teacher is to prepare students not only for academic success, but for life.
Mathematics is an essential skill that students will use every day, making it an important
subject to understand. More importantly, I believe students should learn how to become
thoughtful, responsible, and successful individuals. Academic achievement has greater
meaning when paired with strong character and personal growth.
In my classroom, I emphasize the importance of integrity, goal setting, perseverance,
and positive character development. I encourage students to reflect on the principles
behind their actions and to develop habits that will help them succeed both in and out of
the classroom. Our world needs compassionate, resilient, and responsible citizens who
are prepared to face challenges with confidence and determination.
