I love teaching children- they are my inspiration because they embody what good is left of this sometimes mean world.
Prior to teaching, I was a caseworker for four years where I worked with children who had a missing parental figure. I was responsible for family evaluations and pairing them to a Big Brother or Big Sister, as well as, monitoring active matches.
I made the switch to teach English as a second language because I wanted to be in a position where I could empower and shape young minds. In my experience in the social work world, I learned quickly that Language is a tool that allows one to either feel empowered or vulnerable. I love my job and would not change it for the world.
