My interest in early years teaching grew when I was teaching languages to young students. I found it particularly meaningful and rewarding to offer caring and nurturing guidance and support to the youngest students. That experience made me feel like working with early-year children in the future.
I find my job truly enjoyable when children share their favorite things with me throughout the day. The way they grow, express themselves, and create both inside and outside the classroom is constantly evolving. Observing those changes and the classroom dynamics excites me most about working with children.
That male teacher who gets countless requests to be a lava monster and chases them around on the playground.
Training for local and international marathon races surely excites me every day outside of the classroom! I started training for marathons last year, and it has been my consistent hobby since then. Running brings me joy and calmness while helping shape my daily routines and supporting my overall health and fitness.
