Engineering I love to find new ways to use materials in a different and reusable way! ------- Interior Design All things vintage or antique ------- Robotics Give me a Lego and Ill give you a flying robotic monkey! -------- I also work with classroom teachers who have all the skills but need some energy and a refresh. There are teachers who have a fixed mindset, and I understand that...however, just a few relatable discussions with workable examples and that soul of a teacher is fired up! They envision what those small changes will accomplish in their classroom - they become newbies again! I meet with teachers all the time to help reinvent lessons, discuss mindset, show them methodologies that instill a classroom community. I really do my best to help them come alive again for their students. Burnout is real. I encourage less is more, quality over quantity, and never forgetting to instill a work ethic and soft skills into the classroom. One of my favorite quotes is by John Ruskin, “Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of intelligent effort”
