How long have you been a teacher/worked in education?
This is my 5th year as a teacher. All 5 of those years have been 7th grade Social Studies.
What makes you passionate about education?
I was impacted by a teacher in middle school, she really changed my life trajectory in all honesty, and I have wanted to help young people ever since.

Let's just say I can work with any classroom item if coffee is in the picture.

Anything history related, I honestly love the content that I teach now. So I consider myself to be pretty fortunate in that regard.

I have really enjoyed reading different types of poetry lately.

Traveling to New Zealand, visiting Hobbiton of course.
Thanks for being part of the Wildcat family, Dylan!
