About Me
My true passion in life is connecting with other human beings. Dr. James P. Comer once said, “No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship."
My Core Beliefs:
• Meaningful relationships and connections are essential to learning.
• Learning is a continuous journey of professional and personal growth.
• Educators must immerse themselves in a constant state of self-reflection, relationship building, and appreciation for diversity of thought.
• Education is not linear.
• The three biggest gifts educators can give to future generations include: a love for learning, an open-mind, and a sincere compassion for community.
May the love of learning rule humanity.
