Why did you choose teaching?
I chose to teach because I love working with young people. I think it’s one of the most rewarding things that you can.

I have been to 28 countries on five continents. I was supposed to go to Australia this year, and it would have been my sixth continent but COVID happened…

My fears are…
Small fear: Spiders, but I kill them so they don’t grow bigger and surprise me later
Big fear: Climate change
