As a business and computer science teacher at Lyman High School, I've had the incredible opportunity to work with high school students to learn practical career skills. I've developed a new high school program and curriculum for the business, computer science, and STEM department. This curriculum includes classes and skills that were previously not offered at the school.

During a two year mission in Peru, I led a team of volunteer representatives. I conducted weekly training meetings and motivated team members to meet key indicators and goals. During this time, I learned a lot about what it means to be a leader. I worked really hard to lead by example, and create good rapport with my team members. In the end, I probably learned as much from them as they did from me.
