My philosophy of education centers on the belief that all students possess the potential for academic growth and intellectual development. This is fostered through a classroom environment prioritizing equity, inclusion, psychological safety, and balanced risk-taking. I provide students with the supportive framework necessary to achieve success while allowing them to learn from setbacks. Building strong rapport and understanding each student's individual needs are fundamental aspects of my teaching approach. My colleagues have described me as an innovative, enthusiastic, and student-centered educator, and I strive to embody these qualities in every lesson, every day.
