What is one of your favorite memories from your first year in ACE Teaching Fellows?   

I let some of my students dump water on my head because the Thunder lost in the NBA playoffs and they really enjoyed watching it!

What is the one thing that you love most about your ACE school? Why?

One thing that I love about Bishop Snyder is our focus on “conscience, competence, and compassion" with an emphasis on compassion. My school felt like a perfect fit for me because these are the very qualities I hope to cultivate in my own life. I strive to be conscientious in the choices I make, competent in serving my students well, and compassionate toward every person I encounter. Working in a school that prioritizes these values continually reminds me of who I hope to be.
