“As a military brat and a daughter of an English learner, it was the great teachers who allowed me to embrace who I was as I navigated different countries, cultures and languages. It was those experiences that guided my core values of family, commitment, communication, courage and compassion. I believe in building relationships first and that before we can teach and learn, we have to touch hearts. Now more than ever, it is these core values that have helped ground me.”
