Why are you passionate about supporting fellow teachers?
I am passionate about supporting fellow teachers because I remember the teachers who supported me early on in my career. I attribute my teaching success to the colleagues who poured into me to help me set a strong foundation.

What do you love most about teaching?
I love building relationships with students more than anything. Building relationships allows me to learn who each of my students are at their core, and not just as a student in the classroom. It is amazing to see how much each student has developed across the course of the school year academically and socially.
