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.
