“Teaching provides an opportunity for me to guide students as independent learners and foster positive relationships. Once these relationships are formed, I am there to help students foster a curiosity about the sciences. Teaching science allows me to provide students with opportunities to explore their own interests and passions and think critically about the world they live in.”
