She regards being widely known in the community, as well as being the preferred teacher among parents, to be her greatest professional accomplishments.. The most gratifying aspects of her career are seeing children understand new concepts and ideas, and the gratitude she receives from her students. In five years, Ms. Bullock plans to continue teaching and inspiring children to be the best that they can be.

Ms. Bullock’s favorite quotes are “Do a job, big or small. Do it right or not at all,’ and ‘That’s a good mistake.” She advises others entering into the profession to roll with the changes, not take everything so seriously, relax, be flexible and have fun. She enjoys working with children and seeing what each child brings, for they are all special and unique. Ms. Bullock would like to dedicate this recognition to her family: Carlos, Lindsey and Garrett.
