Why Chosen

When I teach, I strive to foster a classroom culture grounded in kindness, care, mutual respect and belongingness. I want my students to know they are more than a grade or a number - that I am genuinely invested in their growth and success. In our classroom, I work to create a true sense of belonging, where trust is built through empathy, support, and open communication. My goal is to help students not only succeed academically but also experience the transformative power of a classroom defined by connection, encouragement, and shared commitment to learning.
