I bring the value of experience in various areas in the professional business world and the gains of collaborating with teachers in my 5 years of teaching  to the classroom.   It is my passionate choice to help students who have encountered challenges in their educational development.   My belief  is that the critical component to sudent success, is his or hers belief in themselves. While we strive to master content and skills needed to be successful beyond high school, we also maintain focus on the character of the student and to assist in their development in critical thinking skills and the building of self-confidence.
