Q: What’s your job title?

A: I’m a business and finance teacher at Wakefield High School

Q: How did you get into teaching?

A: Before this, I was a business owner as well, I do hope that they learn something from the experience that they have.

Q: I know you said you were passionate about teaching, but what would you be if you weren’t a teacher?

A: Before I became a teacher I was an accountant then a business manager, but I feel like teaching is my passion.

Q: What do you like to do outside of school?

A: Spend time with my family. Both of my daughters play soccer, and I like to watch their games.
