OBJECTIVE
While my goal is to be a driving force for development and evaluation of innovative instructional programs, I believe that connection is
paramount to accomplish this successfully. Enriching and challenging students to achieve beyond their perceived limits is best
accomplished by capitalizing on strengths, through promoting a culture of connection.
