Who am i?I was born in California and grew up in Papaikou, Hawaii. I am married and have two young children. When I am not at school planning lessons or grading papers, I enjoy going to the beach, traveling, singing, dancing, spending time with family and friends, and playing at the park with my children.
I got into teaching because of my love of learning. I want to instill that same love to my students. You will never stop growing if you find learning fun. I enjoy teaching science because it is an interdisciplinary subject explaining how and why things work in the world which involves the use of math, language arts, and some social studies. |
