My favorite thing about being a teacher
Enjoy watching the majority of the students achieve a level of success where they feel comfortable and confident in what they are doing and are willing and able to demonstrate their knowledge/ability to help others who need assistance.

My favorite thing about the Kent Career Tech Center
The Kent Career Tech Center is a special place where students from a variety of backgrounds and socioeconomic environments come together. The education process in our classes is not what most students are accustomed to. The learning is more hands-on, practical education, and not a fundamental textbook education.
