Love Learning and Making Positive Differences
I love to learn and grow as an individual and encourage my students to do the same. I like to set examples and model a positive mindset for my students. Allowing them to know that we all make mistakes and that's okay because we learn and grow from them. Offering my students a welcoming and safe space for learning allows them the comfortability needed for academic growth.
