First and foremost, I am constantly learning and growing. The day that I close my mind to new ideas and quit trying new and different things will be the day that I leave this profession. I'm a firm believer in building quality students in a holistic sense. Students in my class can expect to not only be challenged and pushed academically but socially as well. I hold high expectations that my students will try their best and treat myself, their classmates, and everyone else along their learning journey with respect and exceptional manners. I aim to build strong connections and relationships with both my students and their families. Through this connection, I believe that we can help grow the whole child, not just their academics. 

I also believe in the integration of technology into education. Tech is not only a fantastic tool for education but it has become a vital part of our society as a whole. I aim to teach my students to be 21st-century learners which means that they not only learn how to work with technology but that they are responsible users of technology.
