Why did you enter the field of education?
From the time I entered elementary school, I dreamed of being a teacher. I enjoy sharing knowledge and seeing the look in a student’s eyes when a concept “clicks”. It’s a joy to share what you know with others and to encourage students to major in a Science field.
Why did you choose to earn your degree from the NC State College of Education?
My family has a long history of attending NCSU. It’s where we go. It’s who we are!
