About Me

Although I will not say that I am working towards building a legacy, I know that it is an inevitable by-product of living life. I often think of the magnitude of responsibility on my shoulders as an educator and the thousands of learners that my actions will influence over the next 15-20 years, and I'm adamant that my influence will be a positive one. It is my hope to push each student of mine toward being their best adult self. Through their learning experiences with me, they will have a stronger sense of self and good character, curiosity about the world around them, and thirst for knowledge. As a teacher leader, I hope to inspire change in any school culture that I'm a part of by moving the vision of the school forward, building strong teachers to improve their self-efficacy and student learning outcomes, making the experience at school student-centered. My success with student progress towards mastery comes in helping students find something they like about all aspects of learning. What I've found is that once students connect to something they are strong in within a subject, they are more likely to work hard to continue feeling the elation that accompanies being successful. It's my job to help them tap into the success that is steadily brewing just beneath the surface. I do that by creating shared learning experiences that cater to my students as individuals and treat them as the unique learners that they are.
