As a proud resident of the District, I see the importance of educating the youth of this city. Many of these young people simply need people to come along side them and encourage them as they seek to reach their full potential.

DC Prep is a school that effectively educates young people. I’m a firm believer in the individualized approach to teaching that happens at charter schools. Charter schools, oftentimes are potent alternatives to traditional public schools.

I want to be able to contribute to the success of DC Prep. As someone who is taking a serious look at making teaching my career, having the opportunity to substitute teach at DC Prep would provide me with a strong glimpse of the education field. My five plus years of professional experience, including several months of substitute teaching in Oklahoma, have prepared me to meet this challenge.
