I honestly really love teaching. I love working with young people. I love having a positive impact and really guiding students to realize their own power, especially, you know, power of voice and power of writing. I think that’s important to me as a job. Hopefully, most educators… empowered you to go out and do, you know, great things and pursue your dreams.
I think I’ve been [department] chair for two years. I’m honestly a person that feels more comfortable in the background. I think a leadership position comes with its own challenges. And I knew it was time for me to sort of step out of my comfort zone. And so far, I’ve enjoyed the challenges that come with being chair.
