Life in the City
We are within walking distance of a variety of stores around Snider Plaza, such as Chick-Fil-A, Jimmy John’s, Starbucks, CVS, a grocery store, and lots of boutiques and fun restaurants. Our community loves two-stepping, having burgers at Twisted Root, and going for walks and runs around White Rock Lake. There is always something interesting to do in Dallas!

Why did you say "yes" to serving children in Catholic schools through ACE?
I said yes to ACE because I felt called to serve children and I wanted to do that while living in a faith-filled community. ACE offers friendship, service, and the opportunity to bring Christ through our lives.

If you had to pick one word to describe your ACE experience so far, what would it be?
Mission. We are committed to a very simple mission on a journey of complexity. Nothing about becoming a great teacher will be easy, but the mission itself is help people know and love Christ.

If you had to pick just one word to describe your ACE experience so far, what would it be (and why)?
I would describe my ACE experience so far as invigorating! While each day certainly presents a new set of challenges, the constant support from the ACE community has helped me to grow as both a better educator and individual.
