About Me
I strive to create a flourishing future of dreamers, leaders, and innovators. A future where new ideas are welcomed and explored, where people are empowered to push the envelope of what’s possible, and where communities are collaborating and creating everlasting change. In order to have such a future, we must start at the foundation; our youth.
I strive to empower students to find their passion and excel in our ever changing world as active leaders, first beginning with their education. To aid in the development of the skills necessary to change the trajectory of the future. To instill grit, endurance, hard work, and to encourage students to think outside the box, reverse engineer problems, and exhaust all their resources until a solution is found.
It is only through a collaborative effort that this can be accomplished. They say, it takes a village to raise a child, so why not raise the bar and make a true impact?
