What does Upward Bound mean to you? How has it changed you overall?
Exploration. Together the students, myself, and two co-teachers have explored buildings, landscapes, construction sites, and art installations. Each place we visit is new to atleast one person in the room. We are learning Seattle together. 
  
What influenced/inspired you to become a teacher?

During college, I had the opportunity to work as a teacher at the National Building Museum in Washington DC. Each friday I taught field trip groups from local elementary schools about city design.  I was and continue to be inspired by the creativity students and teachers can share when they collaborate on an exciting project.
