Why did you become a teacher?
"I chose education because I grew up in a family of teachers. Both of my grandparents are teachers and many aunts and uncles are also teachers. I think it's in my blood."
What would you say is the best part of teaching?
"What I enjoy most about teaching is when a student says 'thank you'...even if it's years later."
If I were a student in your class, what would I learn?
"I teach my students about responsibility and honesty, besides English, in order to prepare them for the future. I believe those two attributes matter as much as skills in the workplace."
You've been teaching for 10 years. What other schools have you taught besides Zachary High?
I taught at The Colony High School in Dallas and St. James High School in St. James Parish.
Are the students different?
"Yes, they are worlds apart. I love being a teacher at Zachary High, and I really enjoy my students here."
