Educational Philosophy
We are all students and teachers every day. I have as much to share with students as I have to learn from them. Each individual has talents and gifts to offer the world and every student must find their way to reveal these gifts in their own time and in their own way. My role is to support the student as they navigate higher education to arrive at their ultimate goal, which will be self-determined.

"There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning" -Jiddu Krishnamurti
