I started teaching over 17 years ago, and I continue to love every moment, inspiring students to fully engage in their education and preparing them to become amazing, successful people in our society.  I believe that every student can be successful when they put in the effort, have support from family and friends, and are active and take responsibility for their education.  I am looking forward to being present in the classroom, interacting with the students each day and watching them blossom into hard-working, organized, responsible, confident young people!   I want to inspire people. I want someone to look at me and say, “Because of you, I didn’t give up.”
