About Me

I am all about helping people (which is why I am interested in this position), but I believe that truly helping people means fostering independence. When I teach people, I don't always just give away the answer. Instead, I provide them with the tools they need to get to the answer, which sometimes involves responding to questions with questions. That way, they will understand what they need to think about as they make their way to the answer. A good teacher is a facilitator: a guide, not a dictator. When someone comes to me for help, I want to make them feel empowered, not stifled or enslaved. I do not believe in leading with a "because I say so" mentality because that doesn't help people find their own way. It doesn't foster independence. It does not teach.
