A2: From minute 1 of day 1, I do my best to show my students that I respect them, am a safe person, and my classroom is a safe space. Over the years, I have had several students come out to me, reach out for help, and more. That is more important to me than any test score.

Today is National Girls and Women in Sports Day!
I can easily say that some of my best moments have been coaching, leading, mentoring, and developing female athletes!
From 6 & Under swimmers to High School Lacrosse, I’ve loved every minute of being a part of their athletic careers. ❤️
