I think a teacher should be a model of a lifelong learner. We should also be advocates for our students, their needs and their learning. We need to keep learning about the world and how it changes so that we can provide the most relevant and meaningful lessons to students. Our role in society is to help students make sense of the world and figure out how they will make their mark.”
Quinn’s Story

Why Mathematics
“While tutoring middle school students in math during my undergraduate studies, I related to the anxieties and negative experiences many had in their math classes. I want to work towards improving the math experience for others.”
