I make a connection with the students and become their mentor as I teach. All my life I never felt like I ‘belonged’, but when I started as an intern at John Muir, I knew this was my place! I am always here if students need to talk about anything. I am also an advocate for them when they need me to be. I teach to each one’s learning styles and do my best to meet their needs.
