In my ninth year at Summit Academy, I continue to cherish every moment of teaching, driven by a deep passion for education and personal connection. My teaching philosophy, "human before student," is the cornerstone of my approach. I take immense pride in ensuring that each student who walks into my classroom feels valued and recognized as a unique individual, not just another name on the roster. I believe that understanding and empathy are the keys to unlocking a student's potential, and I strive to create a classroom atmosphere where every student feels heard, respected, and inspired to learn.
