I grew up watching all sorts of cartoons. I love just about all Disney animation- Pocahontas, Japanaimation Sailor Moon and X-Men with my favorite character being Storm. My Movie favorite is John Carter. Star Trek: The Next Generation was my favorite TV show, because of LeVar Burton as I liked him on Reading Rainbow.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this fangirl?
My Love for Star Wars and Sci-Fi is what I incorporate into teaching and learning-reading, science and writing with my elementary school students.
How does this fangirl express her fandom?
I love expressing my geekness for Sci-Fi (Star Wars) with students by encouraging them in their love for reading and more. When I see students reading Sci-Fi books especially Stars Wars, I engage with them about Characters, life themes and even relevant scientific ideas that haven’t been thought of before. Its all about creative thinking and that’s why I love Sci-Fi because it’s just that. In addition, students think I am so cool when I show off my Star Wars knowledge and gear.

What goes around, comes around. So, give good around!
