“I do this work, because I know that with access to a high-quality education, our students will grow up to change the world. I am constantly inspired to continue my growth as a teacher as I witness the academic and character growth students in our building make every day. Our students are the future, and I am privileged to work with and help equip them with the tools and knowledge they need to become the best students and people they can be.”

“I do this work because I want students to understand the purpose for getting an education. Because we work in a college-bound environment that is dedicated to doing your best as a citizen, I believe our students should understand the purpose behind why they are doing this work. That means I should also understand the purpose of doing this work. What is your purpose?”
