“Teaching is not a career for me; it is what I was born to do. STEM empowers young minds, fueling their potential to innovate and problem-solve. Seeing their curiosity turn into passion and watching them apply STEM principles to real-world challenges is incredibly fulfilling… I love that students leave my classroom with confidence and a sense of accomplishment. It’s a privilege to guide them on this journey to diversity, equality, and excellence, to be innovators and leaders.” Sarah Leonard, 2024 TSEA Award Recipient.
