My interest in teaching and education developed through many of my enthusiastic teachers, professors, teaching mentors, and my unique and diverse learning experiences in Vietnam, Austria, Germany, and the United States. My passion for teaching math started when I entered middle school. My father, a middle school math teacher in Vietnam, inspired me to follow my dream of becoming a math teacher. I have greatly enjoyed my teaching experiences thus far.
