你的教育背景是什么?

OB: I went to Bradley University [Peoria, IL] and graduated in 五月 of 2020. I majored in history/social studies and secondary education and minored in women and gender studies. 

What did you do prior to becoming a teacher at Fenwick?

OB: 在我上大学的时候, I worked at a Catholic school in Peoria -- in their Daycare Program and I also was a teacher's aide for a preschool class. 

你现在喜欢读什么书?

OB: 我正在阅读 11月9日 作者:科琳·胡佛. This is just one of the many Colleen Hoover books that I have read recently thanks to TikTok recommendations. 

你在课堂之外有什么兴趣爱好?

OB: Outside of the classroom I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, and I love traveling. I like to cook, and I also am an avid reader and gardener! 

To what teams and/or clubs did you belong as a student?

OB: 我在不来梅读高中的时候, I was a cheerleader and a member of the Student Council. I also wrote for the school newspaper and was in the International Relations Club. In college, I was in a Cultural Exchange Club, w在这里 we hosted international students. 

你在esball世博有哪些俱乐部/运动/活动?

OB: I am the head moderator of Student Council and Model UN. I also help coach girls' lacrosse and am an adult leader for Shield, our freshman mentor program. 我也参加各种凯洛静修. 

esball世博学生的特点是什么?

OB: esball世博的学生非常多面性——经常如此, so many of our students are involved in numerous clubs, 体育和其他校外活动. Not only are they involved in various different activities, but they are so often high achieving within the things they are involved in. Our students constantly strive for excellence in all areas. 

When did you decide to become a teacher, and why did you choose this field?

OB: I always knew that I wanted to work in a school with kids. 我有好几个家庭成员都是教师, so I grew up around teachers and I personally always loved school. I have always said that I love to continuously learn new things. I ultimately decided that being a teacher would be a good profession for me because I could teach a subject that I love and help make an impact in students' lives.

What personal strengths do you find especially helpful in your teaching?

OB: 我天生是个很外向的人, and I always try to bring a positive mindset into the classroom. With that I actively try to create an engaging classroom environment by connecting with my students. 我是一个很善解人意的人, and I use that to help my teaching -- all students are unique and bring different interests into the classroom, and it is my job as a teacher to meet the needs and wants of students to help them not only be successful, 但也要成为积极的学习者. 

你最喜欢教什么课?

OB: I choose social studies as my subject matter because I truly love all of the different content of classes within the subject -- from history to psychology, 以及介于两者之间的一切. I think t在这里 are so many great things to learn from this subject. 然而, I believe my favorite class to teach is sociology because it incorporates all of the different subsets of social studies into one: You look at history, culture and human behavior and how all of those things work together to create the society we live in today. 

你在教学中最大的成功是什么?

OB: The greatest successes in teaching that I have had all revolve around the students. It is so rewarding as a teacher to see a student who may not love the content of my class, 或者正在挣扎, yet is able to find positive moments in the class and get engaged with the content. I also truly love when I have students that come to me for help -- whether it's about my class content or helping them with tech problems or finding their counselor's office. It is a great thing to see that students will know that I am 在这里 to help them. 

今天的学生面临着怎样的挑战啊?

OB: The most blatant challenge that students face today revolves around mental health concerns. This is over-arching and incorporates many different things, but so often students feel societal pressure 'to do' and 'to be' so many different things. 话虽如此, many students may struggle with the effects of this pressure and channeling anxiety and stress into positive and productive means.
