What are you most looking forward to most as an ACE teacher this year?
What excites me most is getting to know my students and understanding what motivates and inspires each of them. Every child learns differently, I strive to build genuine connections that go beyond the classroom, athletics, in the hallways, and in the countless everyday interactions that make school meaningful. My greatest hope is to make a lasting difference in their lives while allowing them to leave an equally meaningful impact on mine.

Why did you say "yes" to serving as a Catholic school educator through ACE Teaching Fellows?
I said "yes" to serving as a Catholic school educator through ACE Teaching Fellows because I wanted to contribute to the small miracles of everyday life. A part of ACE's mission is to not only educate the minds of our students, but their hearts as well.
