    Why you decided to teach or why you wanted to teach at SA: I wanted to teach since I was a child. I used to put my dolls in a circle and then teach them while praising their efforts. I still remember that feeling and I love it! And I love to teach at Sonoma Academy because of the students. They are like sponges, ready to learn and to take risks.
