"The practice of teaching allows me to spark my students' imagination, curiosity and empathy. Every day is different, and no matter how many times I teach the same subjects, the unique group of students in front of me creates an equally unique experience. Being able to take my students outside to visit the peaceful campus arboretum at SUNY Adirondack is always a special gift, as well — a literal breath of fresh air."
