Personal Statement The classes I teach, in both STEM and Business, provide essential life-long skills that can benefit all students. By providing real life, hands-on business projects, my students learn to be successful independent consumers and adults as they transition to life after high school. Additionally, my STEM classes allow students to create and build in ways only possible with a combination of technology and engineering. I believe that meaningful learning happens in a classroom environment that is built upon mutual respect, is structured, and yet allows fun in learning.
