How do you continue learning in your life? What is your professional passion?
I enjoy opportunities to engage in hands-on learning activities. Whether it involves pursuing personal projects, volunteering, or practical endeavors. Additionally, I read about topics relevant to my interests and goals, which helps me to stay informed. Through sharing my knowledge with students, I not only solidify my own learning but also gain fresh perspectives from our interactions.

What is one of your favourite interactions with students?
Witnessing the moment when a student’s face lights up with understanding is truly unforgettable. It signifies more than just grasping a task; it represents a shift in comprehension, where they can connect their learning with real-life experiences.

Favourite Thing about Working at CDS:
The energy from the students and fellow educators in this building is inspiring and the supportive and friendly parent community makes CDS a welcoming place to be. I also would be remiss in not mentioning the food served in the dining hall!
