This page highlights an interview with a teacher who has over 30 years of experience in the field of education. Due to the inspiration of this interview, the aim is to showcase a dedication of educating students about often-overlooked historical contributions, such as the African American women in Hidden Figures, the Mercury 13, and the Navajo Code Talkers. In addition, this page showcases my connection with my Christian faith and teaching in a secular environment.

Furthermore, I created a parent brochure that displays my philosophy to education, subjects I will be covering for the semester, key projects or events that will be taking place, and aspects of homework that will be ongoing weekly, and more.
