My priority is that our students feel welcome, loved, and supported. They are our future, and they deserve to feel safe. I am beyond grateful to be working with my exceptional students and community.

I hold high expectations for my students, and I constantly tell them that I believe in them and edify their brilliance. A common phrase that is heard in my class is, 'We can do hard things.'
