How do you hope to grow in your experience as an ACE teacher?
As an ACE teacher, I hope to grow by being involved in my school and parish community, inside and outside of the classroom. I aim to form relationships with each of my students and create a classroom where everyone feels comfortable being true to themselves, learning from each other, and growing as students and as children of God.

What do you love most about your ACE school? Why?
The students. My middle schoolers are hilarious. While they keep me on my toes, they are each capable of more than they think. It is an honor to help them realize and pursue that potential.

If you had to pick just one word to describe your ACE experience so far, what would it be?
My one word would be fulfilling. Through the time I've had with my students in classroom, with the people I have met through ACE and through my school, and with the opportunities I've had in living out my faith, ACE has brought to me so many ways to experience immeasurable joy and purpose in my daily life.
