My Teaching Background
I became a teacher because I come from a family of teachers: my dad, sister, aunts, and uncles were teachers, and my mom currently teaches elementary school. Personally, I like learning and asking big questions. I also like being around kids and helping them understand the world around them.
"At WYCA, there are many course level and elective options. Students learn to take responsibility for their own learning."
