I remember what it is like to be a student, and I can relate to most kids.

I believe in the education of the whole child, including the social, physical, mental and spiritual aspects.

 My name is listed under "enthusiasm" in the dictionary, as I have a lot of energy.

I can be loud and animated, even though I try to be soft.

I like to infuse art and humor into my teaching.

I encourage sharing and comparing ideas and strategies with other teachers.

I like to take risks, I'm a communicator and I try to use all the IB traits in my teaching.

 "Education is not filling a pail, but the lighting of a fire." - William Butler Yates

I build on student success.

Every student brings a gift, and it's my job to find it.

I bring many skills (art, writing, speech) and experiences with me as a former journalist and Waldorf teacher.
