ASK THE TEACHER:

What is one of your favorite quotes?

One of my favorite quotes is by Maya Angelou: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” I really like this quote because it lets us all know that we’re only humans and we make mistakes, and when we learn from those mistakes we can be better humans. We all have room to grow.

When you aren’t teaching, how do you like to spend your time?

When I’m not teaching I enjoy hiking, looking for animals in nature, tidepooling, baking, and gardening.

What was a favorite recent book that you read?

A recent book that I’ve read that really fascinated me was The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs by Steve Brusatti. I really enjoyed learning more about dinosaurs, and the research that helps us know more about these incredible creatures.
