I really enjoy helping students realize their potential. I discovered that I could explain mathematics in an understandable way, and relate to students based on the ways that I misunderstood concepts when I originally learned them. I can’t think of any other way I would want to spend a day than interacting with students and challenging them to exceed expectations.”
