Why did you become an educator?
I was inspired by my middle school music teacher who went out of his way to provide opportunities that challenged my skills beyond what was required in the curriculum. Also, I believe that growing up with two blind parents instilled an eagerness in me to help to those who struggle and may need things to be explained in a different way.

What is your favorite quote?
“You only need to practice on the days that you eat.”

What is your favorite book?
I having always been a fan of problem solving and puzzles, so I naturally love the stories of Sherlock Holmes.

Why I enjoy teaching at OLF?
OLF does a great job teaching students to have a growth mindset. They are challenged to improve and perform at their very best in all classes and at all times, no matter what their skill level is.

Outside of school, I enjoy…
Performing for and attending theater around Seattle, teaching at Seattle University, playing tennis, and working with power tools.
