How do you spend your summer breaks?
I spend summer running kids around to different events. I'll spend a lot of time outside having adventures on hiking trails or on the water. An iced latte is probably in my plans for each day.
What is one thing you're passionate about?
I'm passionate about finding the unique abilities and interests of each student and helping them learn to love themselves and become good people.
What would students be surprised to find out about you?
Students might be surprised to find out that I spent a semester abroad in Australia. Unfortunately, I didn't pick up an Australian accent.
What do you think sets AC/GC Schools apart?
What sets AC/GC Schools apart is our school culture, which can be described by one word - family. I have never seen so many adults who truly care for all their students and are willing to go above and beyond to make learning engaging and meaningful. We've worked with students to plan some fun school-wide events as well, so the partnership we have between the elementary and JH is truly unique. It's fun to see the varied age groups work together.
