“My goal is to instill and get the best out of my students — professionally, intellectually, and morally,” she said. “I hope my students realize that learning is a lifetime achievement and that they feel safe to learn and share ideas with confidence so they can excel. It is important to me that students gain curiosity and take ownership of their learning to gain a deeper understanding of the content.”
