"I come from a family of teachers. Both my parents were public school teachers, and they both have siblings who also taught in the public school system. So growing up, formal education has always been a part of my life, and this background helped inspire who and what I wanted to be. During college, I knew I was looking for a career path where my creative side could mesh with my math and analytical side, and I've never doubted that I made the right career choice. In looking to join the team here at YouTube, you will quickly find that you'll be getting a motivated and proficient employee in me."
