My Why

Why a teacher?

In fifth grade, I had the most amazing teacher (Ms. McCarthy). She made me see that inspiring others and sharing knowledge with the younger generations was the most fulfilling work. I instantly felt called to be a teacher. As I grew, the pull to education and lifelong learning grew along with it. Now, going into my 16th year as an educator, I know that teaching is my calling.

Why teach biology?

Growing up, I loved to learn in all subjects. The older I got, the more intrigued I became in science and other STEM subjects. Loving bats (and other animals) helped me develop a fascination with life science.

Why teach at Southwest High School?

I believe all students can learn when provided with a supportive learning environment. The SHS mission of relationships, rigor, and relevance is one I already live by to fulfill my teaching philosophy. Under amazing leadership, SHS will provide me with a supportive environment to be the best teacher I can be for my students.
