Personal Statement

I believe learning should be active, engaging, and meaningful. My passion for history helps me bring the past into the present, encouraging students to think critically and make connections to their own lives. I work to create a classroom where students feel supported, respected, and inspired to grow. Guided by my Catholic faith, I strive to teach with kindness and purpose. I see education as more than just delivering content, it's about helping students build life-long skills like resilience, empathy, and integrity. My goal is to help them become thoughtful individuals, ready to contribute positively to the world.
