Background Questions

 * What schools did you attend during your education?
 * I attended Hogwarts in full for my education. I was a Ravenclaw, and I still am, in heart. Myself and two other siblings of mine were the only ones in my family to attend Hogwarts, instead of Durmstrang.


 * What were your best and worst NEWT subjects?
 * Herbology and Charms were definitely my better most subjects when I was in Hogwarts. Transfiguration, Potions and DATDA were all comfortable for me as well, but if I were being fully honest, it was only History of Magic, which I did take a NEWT in, that shook me up a little. I took an EE in the subject, but it still remains something I do fascinate myself with every now and then.


 * What's the best thing about teaching?
 * My favorite part is definitely seeing all my students succeeding, and helping them achieve their potential. I know being a teacher is sometimes a lot more than just what it says on the tin. To me, being a teacher means being a mentor for those who struggle; it means being a listening ear to those who need it; it means being someone a student can come to, and feel alright, knowing that they will always matter.


 * What's the worst thing about teaching?
 * If a student ever fails, or finds themself at a point of loss, truly, it means I have failed them, when they needed me, and that is probably the worst feeling for someone who wants to help guide others to success. Sometimes, a gentle push is needed, but when that isn't the case, it can feel really defeating to know that someone will fail.

Hogwarts Questions

 * What plans do you currently have for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?
 * I had a small amount currently in mind; allow me to explain. I am well aware of the injustice that still goes around these days, and truly, I find it less than acceptable that it still causes a lot of stigma. Personally, I want this to be no more at Hogwarts; students need to know that they can feel safe going to school and knowing that they will never be judged for what they are. I also feel that students deserve to have someone who can listen to them when they are going through a tough time, and that is something I want to ensure. Tutoring was also something I wanted to look into; I do believe it doesn't really happen much, and it should, since it can be beneficial. Aside from that, I was also interested in perhaps opening up a foreign exchange program.
