I became the Coordinator of Student Programs because I believe the most powerful lessons are learned beyond the classroom. I love athletics for the character they build discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and leadership. This role allows me to inspire students, create meaningful opportunities, and shape a positive school culture where students grow in confidence, discover their strengths, and strive to be their best.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThis is my first year in a school setting, so every day has created meaningful memories. The most memorable part has been the staff and students I see each day. They’ve shaped who I am in this building, I smile more, laugh louder, and work harder because of the incredible community around me. Their energy, support, and spirit have made this year unforgettable.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I received $25,000, I would use it wisely by saving and investing it for long-term stability. Financial security creates freedom, freedom to continue serving students, to grow professionally, and to plan for the future without stress. I would also set aside a portion to enhance student programs and athletics, ensuring more opportunities and resources for the students I work with every day.
