How I Got Into Education: My music teacher taught me conducting when I was in elementary when she saw my potential. I want to be her to discover students’ potential.

How I Got Into Education: I was leading a non-profit and did not feel in sync with the mission. We had hosted 2 recent high school graduates as interns and, in mentoring them, I realized that I enjoyed helping them learn about our work. This combination of factors pointed me in the direction of teaching.
