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.
