Q&A

What inspired you to become a teacher?
I was inspired to become a teacher by the lack of skilled and highly educated physics professionals in high school education, especially women. And I did not want to work in a lab. 

What is your favorite spot on Gilman's campus?
Harris Terrace because I really enjoy people come together as a community out there. You can see kids from all grades coming together to hang out. You can see teachers meeting with students or teachers meeting with other teachers.
