The teachers I had in high school had a huge impact on the trajectory of my life. They guided me to look beyond the classroom and envision my future after graduation. I aspire to be a science and engineering teacher who helps my students do the same, ensuring that every student feels welcomed and can see themselves in a STEM field if they choose to.
Christian’s Story
Teaching Discipline
Physics and Engineering
Why Physics and Engineering
As a former engineer, I chose science and engineering to enable my students to explore and understand the world around them. I want them to build, investigate, and learn about various phenomena through hands-on learning.
