I am originally from Buffalo and grew up in a small family, which has shaped my values of independence, responsibility, and close personal connections. These experiences have influenced both my personal goals and my approach to teaching, as I value creating supportive environments where individuals feel encouraged to grow. Overall, my future goals reflect my desire to continue learning, explore new opportunities, and build a life that supports both my career in education and my personal passions.
As of 2026, I am focused on continuing to grow professionally by gaining experience as a substitute teacher while pursuing my master’s degree. Subbing after school will allow me to further develop my classroom management skills, adapt to different learning environments, and gain valuable experience working with a wide range of students and teaching styles. Continuing my education is important to me, as it will help me strengthen my knowledge, expand my opportunities, and better prepare me for a long-term career in education.
Looking further ahead, over the next ten years and beyond, I hope to build a balanced and fulfilling life both personally and professionally. I plan to relocate to a warmer area with access to mountains, where I can enjoy being outdoors, riding motorcycles, and staying active year-round. Having a home with a decent-sized yard and plenty of space for animals is something I value, as pets have always been an important part of my life.
