Q&A

What inspired you to become a teacher?
Going to a summer camp where many of the counselors I looked up to were all teachers. In addition, the peer-to-peer work a lot of my teachers at Gilman allowed me to participate in. 

What is your favorite spot on Gilman's campus?
The walk from the lower lot to the school building, especially during the winter. 

What was your best teaching moment?
This is not really a moment but just general best moments are seeing the students you taught in the past being happy and excited to see you because of the relationship that you created with them.
