What I love most about teaching:

I love playing a part in the transfer of knowledge and how students are able to incorporate that knowledge into their lives in a positive manner. Also, I thoroughly enjoy helping students become life-long learners and developing an appreciation of their education and self development.

My favorite moment in teaching:

It’s a wonderful experience for me when students come back to visit and tell me that something I said or something that they learned in one of my classes had a positive impact in their life in some way or another. It’s encouraging to see students grow throughout the years. It also helps me stay young!
