What do you look forward to the most about teaching at Holy Trinity?
I look forward to opening the minds of students at Holy Trinity by showing them how much learning another language and culture can positively affect the rest of their lives.

How do you inspire students to enjoy learning? 
When students walk into my classroom, I make them feel welcome and safe. This motivates them and allows me to help them understand their potential to learn another language and the importance of lifelong learning.

What do you want your students to take away from being in your class?
I want my students to understand that learning another language and culture will open many doors for years to come.

If you were not teaching, what would you be doing? 
If I was not teaching, I would like to be a missionary. I love the Lord and would like to be able to share His gospel with other nations, showing His love for them as I help them with their daily lives.

What is the best compliment you’ve ever received or could receive as a teacher? 
I had a 12th grade student as an intern that would come to help during one of my classes. At the end of the school year, she gave me a card in which she told me that I inspired her to become a teacher.
