Passion for seeking motivational material to foster proactive thinking.
I am fascinated with impactful speeches and quotes. Studying the delivery methods from inspirational speakers and drawing from their talent is my favorite guide to remain relevant. Breaking my students away from common theories and thought patterns allows me to encourage the heart and open their eyes for more potential.
