Ms. Sands does not regard youthfulness as an excuse to shy away from the demanding and ever changing challenges of teaching and learning. Sands is committed to defying the method of traditional teaching that dictates a fixed curriculum. In the classroom she tailors her teaching to connect to the democratic life which sees the classroom as a micro-community that mirrors the wider society. Subsequently, after graduating from her alma mater only three years prior with a B.Ed in Secondary Education English Language and Literature, in 2018 she was appointed the keynote speaker at the University of The Bahamas’ teachers commissioning ceremony
