Why I Work at EU: I believe it is important for someone who not only went here but also someone who has grown up in the neighborhood I am choosing to teach in. In this day and age representation is valuable. It can also be a tool to help students understand that you have some idea of where they are coming from.

Why I work at EU: Elmhurst is a place for transition, both for myself, and my students. This transition includes the theory that practice does not make perfect. Practice makes more practice. Process is product.

He/Him
Why I work at EU: When I was a kid there were so many struggles that my family encountered. However, over the years I have learned to overcome the setbacks. Now as a teacher I want to instill my students with the same fearlessness. So being present is the most important value of all, because you must be able to interact with the real world, and I love to teach these types of skills.

Why I work at EU: At Elmhurst, we equip students to value their strengths and histories, see themselves as lifelong learners, and be agents of change in their own communities. As an early-career teacher, I am deeply supported and cared for at Elmhurst, and I am grateful for the opportunity to teach problem-solving skills and prepare students to encounter and evaluate technology in their daily lives.
