Why do you teach Career and Technical Education?I love helping students develop their passion for sports medicine. Having experienced my own injuries, I know firsthand the impact that medical professionals can have. It’s inspiring to see students choose a path dedicated to helping others, and I’m grateful to be a part of that journey. |
