Why did you become a teacher?

For me, it’s about more than just a job; it’s about helping people navigate the difficult parts of their lives. I have a natural ability to connect with others, building trust and a sense of understanding that is essential for progress. Through empathy and patience, I am dedicated to creating a supportive and comfortable environment for every individual I work with. I am passionate about working as part of a team, sharing insights, and developing strategies that ultimately empower people to overcome their obstacles.

What’s one thing you’d love for KTEC families to know about you?

I want KTEC families to know that I see them and their children as individuals. My primary goal is to build a foundation of trust with every family, creating a supportive environment where their children feel comfortable and safe. My role is to be a dedicated partner in their child’s journey, helping to navigate challenges and celebrate every success along the way.”
