She was named the school’s teacher of the year in 2021.
After winning the award, she posted on her Facebook page:
“I still can’t believe that I won ESL teacher of the year lol The whole time I kept telling people that there’s no way that I would win, especially going against other teachers who have been teaching way longer than I have.
“Thanks to the people who believed in me and voted for me!”
She mostly posted photos of her students on her Twitter account as well as her fellow teachers.
She was very happy about her job and she will be sorely missed.
