Why did you choose to go into the teaching field?
I’ve wanted to do teaching all my life, but Special Ed didn’t come into the picture until high school when I worked with a boy at church who had Down Syndrome. I fell in love with him and the idea of working with kids with special needs. Once in the cohort, I went and did one day in high school and fell in love with high school Special Ed, and I know that’s where God has called me to serve.
Tell me about your career goals:
I either want to teach high school Special Ed. or start an inclusion program for people with special needs at a college.
