What inspires my work with students:

I became a teacher because I believe that what we do matters.  I love teaching and watching the growth and development of my students.  Sometimes education can fall short- and working one on one with students provides me with the opportunity to ensure that every student feels encouraged, respected, challenged, and safe.  Every student I teach is different, and they keep me on my toes and challenge me in different ways.
