Personal Mission Statement:

My mission as a sixth grade teacher at a leadership and performing arts school is to empower every student to discover and develop their unique strengths, nurture their creativity, and build unshakable confidence. I am committed to fostering a classroom culture where mistakes are embraced as essential steps in the learning process, and each student is encouraged to take risks, explore new ideas, and pursue growth with courage and curiosity. By modeling and teaching the skills of collaboration, communication, and empathy, I will inspire my students to become compassionate, resilient leaders who make a positive impact both within and beyond our classroom community.
