“I have always wanted to teach. I view teaching and education as a way to positively affect children all over the world, and if I can change a life with that avenue my purpose has been fulfilled. The AATF opportunity has paved the way to making my dreams of becoming an educator come true, and the best part about it is the sense of community. My inspiration comes from wholeheartedly believing that this is what I was born to do. My role has an educator, mentor, and trusted advisor will provide an outstanding environment for all students that will learn under my instruction.”
