Why I Teach

My goal as a teacher is to encourage students to reach their full potential. I seek to inspire and work with young people to gain skills that will help them develop their ideas into organized, thoughtful work. To help my students succeed, I strive to give them good information, support and guidance during projects, and timely and helpful feedback.

I teach because I enjoy the challenge of meeting each new group of students and helping them grow into scholars, no matter what skills they bring to the endeavor.
