What about the Evolution Studio or community that inspired you to become a teacher? What inspired me to begin teaching is the experiences I have gained from being a part of the community. A community in which we are very supported by each other regardless of our backgrounds; we are all connected and here for one another.

Favorite movie and whyMy favorite movie is “Toy Story”. I had a replica Woody and a replica Buzz growing up and would reenact the scenes with them. The film is just as funny today to me as it was when I was a child.
