TEACHING PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSE

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with people and the fact every day I arrive to work I never know what to expect. This field is never a given paved road, not always easy, but afield I have found to be very rewarding.

I have learned a lot from my classes, the instructors, and I have enjoyed the content taught within each class. Finding early on how to prioritize time is crucial to being successful. I look forward to teaching this class and being able to share my passion with new students.
