I started teaching over 15 years ago, and I continue to love every moment inspiring students to fully engage in their education, preparing them to become amazing, successful people in our society.  I believe that every student can be successful when he/she puts in the effort, has support from family and friends, and is active and takes responsibility for his/her 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.”
