“Having the opportunity to be a Teaching Fellow in a program I grew up with and that shaped me into who I am was something I will never forget. It pushed me to be the best version of myself and made me realize teaching is a passion I want to purse. I learned to regulate my emotions as well as create a meaningful relationship with every one of my students.”
