What I want to be a teacher

My goal in teaching is to set students on the proper path to the meaningful life. I would like nothing more than to sacrifice my time and energy to empower future generations to come. I want to see each child smile and succeed no matter what it takes. One of my key philosophies is to establish relatability with students and to be sensitive to students' socioemotional needs. I value differentiating to address students' unique needs and to highlight their strengths. Growing up, I struggled both at home and at school, so I always had a goal: to be the person that I wish was there for me when I was younger.

Some things about me

I'm a Fremont native. I went to Durham Elementary, Walters Junior High, and Kennedy High. I completed my undergrad at Cal State East Bay. As of this summer, I'm continuing my education there to work on my Master's in Reading and Literacy.

I like to sketch, paint, read, and go out for walks around my neighborhood or at Lake Elizabeth

Currently, I'm reading my way through a 100-book challenge called "The Great American Read" by PBS.
