Why did you become an educator?
I became an educator because I believe that all children deserve to be seen and believed in by the adults in their lives. There is hardly any job like that of an educator in terms of making an impact on the world around us. Plus, I just love working with children – they are spirited and hilarious.

What is your favorite quote?
“Watch your thoughts, they become your words; watch your words, they become your actions; watch your actions, they become your habits; watch your habits, they become your character; watch your character, it becomes your destiny.” -Lao Tzu

What is your favorite book?
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke or The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

What I like most about teaching at OLF is…
