“Cantare amantis est ... Singing belongs to one who loves." - Augustine

PHILOSOPHY

The successful teacher relentlessly demands excellence, and is devoted to the personal enrichment of her students. I seek opportunity for growth in adversity. A positive pivot within a pandemic. I am a forward thinker, leader, learner, and listener.
