*Art Teacher*
- Why did you decide to become a teacher?
“I would like to say I was inspired by all the great art teachers I had, but actually, it was the opposite. Since I didn’t have good art teachers growing up, I wanted to be the art teacher I never had. They inspired me to be a better teacher.”
- How do you deal with a stressful day?
“I go home and laugh with my kids and watch mindless TV shows to decompress.”
- What is your most interesting, high school memory?
“I was the class speaker at my graduation.”
- If you could have another job, what would it be?
“I’ve always been interested in psychology, so maybe a psychologist or a counselor.”
- What is your funniest, teaching moment?
“There are so many! But one that comes to mind was while I was showing the class the “proper” way to dispense paint from one of the paint gallons, a clogged pump caused the paint to shoot up, and it got me right in the face!”
- What was your biggest setback in your life?
“During my high school years, my mom was battling cancer, and during my senior year, she passed away. It definitely changed my world and shaped the person I am today.”
- If you could change one thing about BHS, what would it be?
I would like to see students step up, be leaders, set high goals for themselves, and be invested in our school.”
- Do you have any advice for the students?
“Set high goals for yourself, don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, and take risks. Having a growth mindset is crucial to your success in life, so start practicing it now!
