From my Aunt Cathy to Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Lyons, I’ve seen the magic of teaching firsthand. They didn’t just teach—they inspired, empowered, and transformed lives. Now I strive to do the same: spark curiosity and make a lasting impact, one student at a time.

I teach for the students I stand beside today—the future educators of our community! Every day, I strive to model the incredible power of a great education. These students will one day become the “magic makers,” the ones who ignite the lightbulbs of curiosity and wonder in future generations. I teach to show them that education is not just a profession—it’s a calling, a chance to shape lives and witness the extraordinary impact of their hard work. What other career allows you to touch hearts, spark minds, and create a legacy that lasts for generations?
