I’ve dreamed of teaching high school math for over a decade. Inspired by my mom, a teacher, I built a tutoring business and by 18 had worked with 60+ students through referrals alone. After studying engineering and business at UC Berkeley, I worked in sales to develop strong communication and relationship-building skills before transitioning into education. I began student teaching at Sage Creek High School last August, where students and mentor teachers have told me I have “the teacher gene.” My timing is critical, as today’s students face constant digital distractions and need a young, engaging, and relatable teacher who can connect with them and motivate them to succeed. I’ve truly found my calling and can't wait to change student's lives.
