Philosophy of Education

As a dedicated educator, I strive to provide the best quality academic, social and emotional experience for my students. I plan to continue this in an expanded role, bridging my knowledge of curriculum and instruction with what I have learned about child development and staff facilitation. In addition, I always remember the child I was and the impact the public education system had on me. I hope that every decision I make as an administrator would be informed not only by who I was, but who I turned out to be because of the teachers in my life.
